Here you can review your own records, see how the community has identified them, and explore observations submitted by others \u2014 whether across the world or within a specific property, reserve, or region. Powerful filtering tools allow you to search by taxonomic group, location, date, or conservation status, including threatened species. You can also contribute to the community by helping to identify other users\u2019 observations.<\/p><p>The platform also hosts a wide range of projects. You can join existing initiatives, contribute your observations to them, or even create and manage your own project to track biodiversity within a particular area or theme.<\/p><p>For those wanting to deepen their knowledge, individual species pages provide valuable information, including distribution maps, conservation status, life history details, distinguishing features, and similar species \u2014 making iNaturalist not only a data collection tool, but a rich learning resource.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-50e8335 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"50e8335\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2f713a0\" data-id=\"2f713a0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e3f29a elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"2e3f29a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-bob\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-double-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">WATERBERG INATURALIST PROJECTS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ECOSYSTEMS | SPECIES | GENES GETTING STARTED WITH inaturalist TIP: Make sure your content licence is set to either No Copyright (CC0), Attribution (CC BY), and Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC) in your account setting to make sure your data can be provided to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility as well as other biodiversity databases.
