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

We have made only 2 ND observations, but we think they are pretty cool!

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 :relaxed:

Funny…seems it has picked up speed… if it is going on like this, it will probably crack the 4 Mil mark this year :-)
