🌏 Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Aloha!
We are less than a week away from the City Nature Challenge and Earth Day is a great excuse (Did you really need one?) to add an observation to iNaturalist. Its easy to forget that iNat is indeed a citizen Science project and your observations provide actual data that can contribute to preventing the spread of invasive species here in Hawaii and help resource managers understand the distribution of rare and endangered species to better manage their recovery.

Also, now it a great time to help spread the word about Maui's participation in the City Nature Challenge. Encourage your friends to participate in the Maui Event : https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2019-maui
or check out the full list of participating cities to see if there is a CNC event near you: http://citynaturechallenge.org/city-list-2019/

🌏Happy Earth Day! 🌎
-John

PS- If you are mentioned below, you are among the top iNat observers on Maui. If you are on Maui during this year's CNC, I hope you'll get out and help us represent this year! Mahalo!
