Several more days 'til the beginning of reptile-o-rama bioblitz 2024!
Hi, naturalists! this is the nature-tracker, admin of the reptile-o-rama bioblitz series. August 30th approaches in several days, so if any naturalists would like to join, there is still a fair amount of time. In this article, i am going to tell more information about the project rules.
■ Users who have observations of uncommon reptiles in the species leaderboard will earn bonus points.
■ i will be creating a custom leaderboard of the top 25 that will be submitted via the project journal.
■ if there are any changes in the bioblitz rankings, i will edit or re-submit the custom leaderboard to match the changes.
■ only verifyable observations will be valid in the bioblitz.
I wish you all the best of luck, my fellow inaturalists. This is nature-tracker, signing off.
Comments
If I may comment, I believe that this is not a good idea regarding rare reptile species. Please do not post rare reptile species on iNaturalist due to potential issues with poachers and/or irresponsible herpers. Instead, report them to another organization that does not have publicly accessible location data.
Thank you for the important notification! I was unaware that posting rare/endangered species on inat could bring a negative outcome. I have re edited the post and taken out the part mentioning the bonus for rare species. If you would like to participate in the bioblitz, feel free to join!

Yeah, I didn't either in the past. It's not really something that comes to mind when using a platform meant to help contribute to science, but it's an important thing to be aware of 😁
