Ken-ichi Ueda, one of iNaturalist’s co-founders, has decided to leave the iNaturalist staff after many years of deep involvement in the organization. Ken-ichi was profoundly influential from iNaturalist’s co-founding in 2008. We’re incredibly grateful for his vision, dedication, and countless contributions to making iNaturalist into what it is today. We wish him all the best in his future work.
While we will be closing comments on this post because we don’t discuss personnel matters on iNaturalist platforms, we want to acknowledge Ken-ichi’s immense impact on iNaturalist and our community.
