Projects

Collection Project:
A Collection Project automatically draws in observations that meet a certain criterion.
For example:
Birds of the World [https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/birds-of-the-world] collects any observation of a bird from anywhere in the world.
Bird hides in the Southern Cape (South Africa) [https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/bird-hides-in-the-southern-cape-south-africa] only collects observations from bird hides where specific places have been created.
You do not have to join this kind of project for your observation to be included. It will automatically be done. But if you are not a member of the project then it will not display on your observation that it is included.

Umbrella Project:
An Umbrella Project is a collection of different projects. Like a directory it lists individual projects which fit into a theme.
For example:
NEMBA Alien Species (South Africa) [https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/nemba-alien-species-south-africa] includes 13 individual projects that all relate to invasive or prohibited species in South Africa.
You do not have to join this kind of project for your observation to be included. It will automatically be done. But if you are not a member of the project then it will not display on your observation that it is included.

Traditional Project:
A Traditional Project collects specific information that you feel is relating to a specific theme.
For example:
George Municipality Urban Edge [https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/george-municipality-urban-edge] only wants observations of trees planted on road verges in a given area.
For this type of project to work you need to join the project, then while uploading the observation add the observation to the project. It will then be included and visible in the project.
