10,000 OBSERVATIONS!!!

we reached 10,000 flowering plants observations in Turkey on I-Naturalist! Since mid-May, when the collection project started, we have added over 3200 new observation of flowering plants for Turkey on ID, 1000 of which identified to the species level! Many more identifications of older observations are happening.
Very soon, a group of botanists around the world will be able to use this data to map the distribution of species for which this information currently does not exist, and will use this information to identify hotspots of conservation priorities for plants.

thank you everyone for the great effort!

We have dropped below 10,000 again as some observations needed their locations fixing - here's hoping the observer will be able to amend those otherwise excellent records.
