Quick Review (2 mins) of using the ID tool: https://vimeo.com/246153496

• Add your group (family, genus) in the taxon box of the links below to get to your specialty.
• if your group is done, please consider helping in other groups or other areas.
• If you find a tree you don't know about, please add the trees project to alert our tree fundis. The project to join (once off) and then add is https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/trees-of-southern-africa-id and you can also help ID trees here!
• Don't forget to mark any interesting, unusual, or exciting observations by Adding a FAVE
• Remember to mark observations that are Captive/Cultivated.
• Remember to "Mark as reviewed" all observations you don't want to see again (do it at the end of each page).
• If you have any special requests, please ask.
• Unless observers use the Habitat project, we cannot divide between finer biomes (e.g. Forest, Thicket, Fynbos, Grassveld, etc.).

As of today, there are 5,603 observations within the Unknown category for southern Africa: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?reviewed=any&iconic_taxa=unknown&verifiable=true&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2024-southern-africa-umbrella
