Great Southern Bioblitz 2020 - Greater Perth's Boletim

Hey, Perth iNaturalists, have you heard of the Great Southern Bioblitz held last week?

Can you spare a half-hour?

The Perth area needs IDs!!

To do the IDs, rather use the curation tool: it makes life much easier.
short tutorial: https://vimeo.com/246153496
If you want to just do a specific group (e..g Birds or Thorntrees), then enter this in the species box at the top of the ID/curation tool.

Quick Links using the ID tool:
Perth urgent IDs (142) & Reviews (180)

Numbers will change as progress is made. Those reviewed by you will not show up again if you revisit (you can switch them on again if you want - click the reviewed box on the top line. )

These observations have no IDs at all - help place them to family or genus so that the experts/specialists/enthusiasts can work with them

With the Great Southern Bioblitz a week away I would like to challenge you all to get some practice in!
It's such a lovely day (ok in Adelaide at least) I would like to challenge you to make at least 5 observations and share below on socials #GSBioblitz

The Great Southern BioBlitz is based on the same format as the worldwide City Nature Challenge (CNC) held earlier in the year. The CNC is held each year in April with over 250 participating cities to observe and record nature in their area. The event organised by Los Angeles Natural history Museum and the Californian Science Academy. In 2020, four Australian cities, Adelaide, Geelong, Redlands and Sydney were involved in the four days BioBlitz with Australians recorded almost 25,000 animal, fungi, and plant observations.
Following the success of the CNC, the Australian cities involved have combined to organise the Great Southern BioBlitz to highlight the biodiversity of our country in the flourishing springtime when flowering plants and many creatures are more evident in rural and city environments.
The GSB organising committee is also eager to have as more many people from Perth involved in this event where people participating at each location are striving to find and photograph as many species as possible within the event time frame. The event has proven to be a great way to engage people about nature and to learn about the animals and plant in their area.
The event will be held from Friday 25 September till the end of Monday 28 September with survey areas based on local government boundaries. Each participating group can define its observation range as being one or more local government areas.

We look forward to your area being involved and please free to contact us by email. greatsouthernbioblitz@gmail.com
