We're almost to the finish line!
What an effort!
Perhaps it was the competition between ABQ & Phoenix (we're leading in all three categories: observations, species, and observers!) Perhaps it was the UNM competition between tiny but scrappy Geography & Environmental Studies vs. the newcomer Department of Biology (Team GES prevailed, taking first place in the team competition overall!)
Whatever the reason, with only 9 more observers than 2019, we've amassed 2,684 more observations with a 2021 total of ~10,596!
There are two more days left in the competition. All that remains is to IDENTIFY IDENTIFY IDENTIFY!
Only 30% of our observations have been identified. We're currently 38th in the world for number of species identified. You can help us move up the list by going to this link to help in identifying observations. If you're a taxonomic expert you can help to take observations to the species level but we can all help to the best of our ability. Even classifying observations at a basic level (plant, bird, insect, mammal, fungi, protozoan, etc.) helps to get those observations onto the screens of experts in that taxonomic area.
Thank you all for your contributions to this effort! Go Team ABQ!
