Obscuring sensitive species data

We have had some questions about obscuring locations for sensitive species.

iNaturalist automatically obscures 1) Listed species 2) G1/G2 species as determined by NatureServe ranking and 3) any IUCN threatened species.

We are working with the iNaturalist administration to add several species high on the black market trade or with closed seasons to this list (such as Sonoran Desert Tortoise and Rosy Boas).

We encourage you to set your geoprivacy settings to "obscured" for any records you feel should be sensitive. As the project owners, we will still get the exact coordinates to use in wildlife management decisions.
