TEN THOUSAND SPECIES, THREE HUNDRED MEMBERS!!!

What a week for the Wild Times Project! We've eclipsed two fantastic milestones this week for 10,000 total species count and 300 members, all within only about six months of the project running. We also did it during Shark Week, which is pretty badass if you ask me. When I made this project I had no idea what kind of engagement it would get, but I was sure of one thing: brosteners from all over the world would be ecstatic to share their wildlife finds. The project has been a powerful new tool to bring the wild times community together to appreciate wildlife and contribute to the field of wildlife biology. I am so thankful for each member that has taken the time to share their wild finds, and I can't wait for us to get to 20k+ species and 600+ members! Who knows what diversity of people and species we will have when the project hits its one year anniversary?? I've been stoked to contribute over 50 species during my field research in New Mexico over the past two months, and as my summer wraps up I'm excited to get back to South Carolina and continue to grow my species count throughout my field projects and adventuring. I can't wait to see what y'all have in store going forward, keep the observations coming!!

Always Wild,
Drew
