I get just over 2,000,000 verifiable (excuse commas )
Thank you, I get what I was doing wrong now.
Denmark joined the Club!
yay!
Ecuador and Portugal are probably next.
Colombia is only 100k observations short as well.
Denmark is, after NZ, the second-smallest country (in terms of inhabitants) - will take some more time until another sub-6 Mill. member (Costa Rica) will surpass the threshold.
For Austria, expectations are to reach the target around the time of the next CNC
Globally, we’re also only 2000 species off 400,000
We have made only 2 ND observations, but we think they are pretty cool!

Ecuador is very close! Our partners there are promoting it on Twitter and Facebook.
my metropolitan area (Greater Houston) just passed 1 million verifiable.
AAAAnd it happened!
I’m proud to say that 0.000043993 of those observations were contributed by me.
INABIO livestreamed a celebratory event today, for surpassing 1m observations in Ecuador!
It’s almost entirely in Spanish but you can have YouTube generate auto-translated subtitles if you’re not a Spanish speaker. The English ones seem to be pretty good.
So who will reach 1 million in 2023?
I think my home country of Austria is a good candidate, they are at 920,113 verifiable right now. They only added 6,504 observations in January - and likely will be similar for February and March as the winter months always have less people observing but should pick up a lot in April.
Last year, I extrapolated the trend for Austria and expect the threshold will be reached around the CNC. Let’s see
And here we are - Colombia joined the club!
Just a bit over a month after Ecuador reached the milestone it is now the third South American country with over one Million verifiable observations. And Argentina will soon follow…
@Ajott
Maybe the thread title should be changed…
And I did not even upload those pending observations of mine yet
Funny…seems it has picked up speed… if it is going on like this, it will probably crack the 4 Mil mark this year :-)
Australia ticked over to 5 million observations in the past couple of days
