UKRAINE - A YEAR OF RESISTANCE!

Some HEROES have been making observations for a year, in the midst of war.

We see an increase in activity in the west, a reduction in activity in the east and the maintenance of the level of activity in Crimea.

Compare results from this ONE YEAR OF WAR project with the ONE YEAR BEFORE project.

Number of Participants:
ONE YEAR OF WAR = 2.516 iNaturalists (Observers) => 66 %
ONE YEAR BEFORE = 3.800 iNaturalist (Observers)

Number of Observations:
ONE YEAR OF WAR = 196.261 Observervations => 77 %
ONE YEAR BEFORE = 254.829 Observervations

Number of Species Identified:
ONE YEAR OF WAR = 10.320 species => % 103 % - FANTASTIC!
ONE YEAR BEFORE = 9.983 species

During the war, the quality of observations increased causing a larger number of species to be identified, even though we have 2/3 of the participants.

Focusing on biodiversity observation, comment on how this was a year of war making records.
What strategies did you use!
I in Brazil, like other iNaturalists around the world, have no idea what it's like to make records in the midst of war.

Unfortunately, we're going to have to open the second year of resistance project.

Please also join as a member of this second project!

Please take care. Do not take Photos if it is a suspicious activity,
If necessary, obscure the location of your observations.

I want a ceasefire to be negotiated as soon as possible and for peace to return to the full territory of Ukraine.
I'm praying for you and for Ukraine! Eric
