When you upload an observation, firstly go to “Fields” and select “Habitats (s Afr)”. There you will see the above listed habitats.
When this is done, under “Projects” select “Habitats (s Afr)” and your observations will be added to the project.
Note you must first do the Field before the project. If you select the Project without the field the system will reject it and your observation will not be added.
