Belarus - iNaturalist World Tour

Belarus is the 86th stop on the iNaturalist World Tour. The top observer, @leschij, has observations clustered around Navahrudak along with @merav. @lutautami's observations are clustered to the East towards the capital of Minsk where there is a large cluster of users. There are quite a few top observers with observations clusterd north of Minsk such as @alekseyandreyanov near Vitebsk, @ahospers, @siarhej_21_07_19, @optilete, and @max_hof_mann. @lst (an account belonging to a couple) has observations clustered to the To the southwest on the border with Poland. There are several top observers with observations clustered around the nearby city of Kamianiuki including @denis_m and @maxpauel



Its noteworthy that the first observation from Belarus was only added in May of 2015 - later than any of the other countries we've looked at so far - when @lst joined after learning about iNaturalist from National Geographic. Aside from the peak in August 2018 when @ahospers imported his observations from Observation.org, real organic growth in Belarus seems to have begun in earnest this year beginning in April.



The mysterious @laukines_pievos is the top identifier and also leads in plants, @borisb leads in insects, and @kastani leads in birds. Thanks to other top identifiers such as @leschij, @jakob, and @sergeygerasimov.



What can we do to get more people in Belarus using iNaturalist? Please share your thoughts below or on this forum thread.

I never met private persons during my visit so i have no idea to make people connect to iNaturalist, they were alwasy related to an institute. And i was not able to follow the link on the forum (*You do not have permission in a RED block).

It makes me so happy to see the enduring contributions of users like @lst who first learned about iNaturalist from the now-defunct Great Nature Project I worked on at National Geographic!
