1,000 observations and counting!
This was supposed to be a quick update and celebration of the fact that we have passed through our first major milestone of 1,000 observations for Zavamaniry Gasy, but, at the time of writing we are now well on our way to another thousand with 1,323 observations registered. So, well done to all, especially the KMCC team who have contributed to and curated the project.
Also, a big welcome to new members and for all those either contributing new observations of Malagasy plants or for adding identifications.
So, time to delve a little deeper into the statistics. Here is a quick summary:
1) Just over a fifth of observations are 'Research' grade
2) Orchids are by a long way the most observed family:
3) Humid and Western dry Forests are the most observed vegetation types:
4) Observations are growing at a steady rate:

That's great! Especially impressive for the small number of people involved. I've joined just to follow your updates as curious person!
Thanks Carrie! We're just getting started :) We have a Bioblitz planned in September, so hopefully we will get a big boost of observations and new species. Good luck with the Great Nature Project.
Hi Steve, I'd be VERY curious to know how you created & embedded these graphs, very cool! Cheers, Jakob
Actually, me too! They're clearly not just static image files. What did you use?
@jakob @carrieseltzer Thanks! :) I used google sheets to create the charts. The original data here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JmsKckc7rvjM2NzGk_abAPLZ3HsZpYJ2Ut8crfXlQPo/edit#gid=0
Then you can publish the chart and take the iframe code and paste it into the journal post. It should dynamically link to the data, so if I update it, the chart also updates.
