Last Socially Distant Bioblitz this Sunday!

It is hard to believe, but our 10th and final Socially Distant Bioblitz is this Sunday, 18 October 2020! With only one event left, we are just 7,000 observations shy of reaching our goal of 100,000 observations. To help us achieve this, we encourage everyone to recruit 2 people to participate in Sunday’s bioblitz. Extra credit if they are new to iNaturalist!

Within the 93,008 observations collected so far from 73 countries, we’ve found some beautiful plants and charismatic animals, both common and globally rare species, and even a few new species records for iNaturalist! 13,528 species in all! It may be a challenge, but can we find 472 additional species on Sunday to reach an even 14,000?

We hope to "see" you there!

Another Bioblitz!

Hello Everyone!
I made a bioblitz for the week of 8/24-8/31!!! It is a bioblitz with ten winner categories!!! Mainly for younger bioblitzers, but if you are interested and you still want to join, you can!!!
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/inaturalist-super-bioblitz-8-24-8-31 is the link!
Heads, up! @bonnieeamick is in the lead and @alexis_orion for species!!! Even though you may see me in first for species and observations, I do not count for bioblitzes. So if anyone has more observations or species than 803/330 for the lead, you can get the gold!
Please share my bioblitz with friends and family if you want!!!
If you are looking for a huge challenge, next bioblitz you can try to beat 881/429 if you really want to!
Thanks, Robby
