My family and I keep a register of the biodiversity in our land, recording all animal, plants, fungi we find, we also make follow ups of the things we observe like nests or growth. Today we reached 1000 observations and +400 species. Any type of recomendation for us to make the project as useful a…

Oh, I am sorry Susanne, I didnt provide much information My family and I work in our property reporting all that we see You can search my location like this (sorry I dont know a better way) go to search, put this location Manaure, Cesar, Colombia then on the map go where the orange square is in…

WOW I would love to see your property, can you share me? About the 400 species, I am not so sure about it, but is what the numbers say when I ask the map. About the hospot: I googled searched trying to understand what it is, when you mean identify you mean you want to know my hostpot? According t…

WOW! I love this idea, thanks. but where do I find this fields???

@lauranaturaleza - What a cool project! Thank you for sharing. Have you tried using the Annotations? I like adding flowers and fruits to plants. Then on the species page you can see a graph of the phenology through the year. You can also search for photos of plants that have flowers or fruit, w…

Felicidades! I also use iNaturalist to record biodiversity on my property. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/monitoring-gardens-and-spreading-the-message/26094 These are my statistics from New Mexico, USA: [image] And, here’s a project from Africa where people collect garden observations: https:/…

Just keep observing. Consider “mothing” for moths and other insects attracted to lights at night: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/light-setups-for-mothing/48231 400 species on a property even as small as that in Columbia is just the tip of the iceberg. You can probably find 4,000 or more with time …

On web, they’re on the right sidebar of any observation: [image] You can search for the individual fields, and once you use them, they’ll appear again in the future. What you can also do is “search for observations without this field”: [image] …which will then take you to Explore, where you c…

a somewhat unrelated suggestion – have a party! you’ve accomplished something special.

Light traps are a good way to see lots of moths and other insects, but I wouldn’t use them if you want to know what is living on your hectare. Many of the insects a light trap attracts will have been drawn in from the surrounding area. The trap basically messes with flying moths’ navigation. So what…

[image] lauranaturaleza: recording all animal, plants, fungi we find, we also make follow ups of the things we observe like nests or growth. To reach that number in Colombia I’m guessing you’ve found a lot of birds, plants, insects, etc. Impressive! I imagine in such a biodiverse country the…
