Phase III Identifications.

Phase III Identifications.

Thanks all for a sterling job.
It is now time to start focusing on getting observations to Research Grade. However, with a backlog of 14,000 Unknowns, we also need people to tackle this group urgently

Headline Stats

Of our 124,371 observations of 9,548 species (does not look like we will make 10,000 this year)

  • Some 807 observations have no media - these cannot be identified or verified. Thanks to the 50 observations fixed.
  • Some 9,726 observations are planted or captive (up 1,600). - please remember to mark any observations as captive if necessary!
  • Some 10,638 (8%) are not verifiable (this includes planted and medialess observations)
  • Needs ID 75,199 74,652 (66%) - (down 500) our goal was to get this below 30% by Sunday night.
    of which 30,693 (25%) have been identified to species and need verification for Research Grade.

  • Research Grade: 39,099 (31%) (up 400) observations - our goal was to get this to 66% by Sunday night.

Please help with Identifications - Round 3:

Phase 1: IDs above species:

(You can filter further by adding your preferred group in the "search species" box.)
If you would like to focus on your city, then add it to the "place" box at the top of the filter.

Phase 2: Unknowns:

We need everyone to muck in here please. We need to move these 14,548 Unknown observations to family or lower level.

Phase 3: Specialists.

Can specialists please start clearing your orders, families, tribes and genera.
Here is your link: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?quality_grade=needs_id&project_id=city-nature-challenge-2024-southern-africa&verifiable=true&place_id=any

  • Filter by adding your preferred group in the "search species" box
  • Remember when you get to the end of the batch, to mark all as "reviewed"
  • When done with all your taxa, please help clear the Phase 2 and 1 observations.

Notes

Good luck: summaries will be posted below, until we enter the next phase.

  • FAVES: Please Fave any observations that are worthy, for any reason you think it is special. These will tally to the Observation of the City Nature Challenge, at various levels. You can also Fave any that you might want to return to after the CNC. (Your Faved observations are available on your dashboard). Please also Fave any first time observations for a species.
  • CAPTIVE/PLANTED: Remember to mark any observations that are planted or captive by ticking the Captive-Cultivated box.
