We need a better strategy??
Nothing is changing significantly. Identifications are not making any headways.
Our numbers are static.
See here
We should be lowering our outstanding IDs by 25% per day if we hope to get the backlog cleared before Friday. But the outstanding IDs are not moving
So what should we do?
Step 1. Clear the backlog of no IDs. - quickly go through
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?quality_grade=needs_id%2Cresearch&iconic_taxa=unknown&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2021-southern-africa-umbrella
Dont waste time: if you dont recognize something leave it to someone who does. These are now the difficult to do's and the garden plants.
[There are 300 of these]
Step 2. Clear the "plant" IDs. Yes there are people who think they are helping with a "plant" ID. We need to rescue these: These will also include a few species that have been seriously misidentified and need some action: Try this:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?quality_grade=needs_id%2Cresearch&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2021-southern-africa-umbrella&lrank=order
Select your group (eg. Insects, Plants, Vertebrates).
Dont waste time: if you dont recognize something leave it to someone who does. These are now the difficult to do's and the garden plants. You can help here by
if it is a tree, add the project "Trees of southern Africa" to the observation. (join it first here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/trees-of-southern-africa) - this will make it available to our tree specialists
[There are 4,037 of these.]
If you are good with trees, then wont dont you try and help us identify the trees?

[There are 102 of these]
We are looking for specialists to help us with: [is the number of IDs needed that are still above species level]
Please help if you can - or find someone who might be able to help.

I don't know if this is happening to others ... when I click on one of the above links, it automatically filters by Eswatini (my normal locality filter). This might be why there have been relatively few people looking through the Eswatini records? If this is happening generally, a lot of us are not seeing observations outside our usual filter.
Oh. That was not intended, but it is OK in that one works in one's region of familiarity.
Please feel free to expand to "southern Africa" if you feel able.
Thanks for the heads-up
Very difficult to add more species to the first 2.5K
Would this one be among the latest 10?
