iNaturalist reaches 200,000 observations! 2013-03-08

As we gear up for spring in the northern hemisphere, iNaturalist passed 200,000 observations today! From this collection, we are now serving over 45,000 research grade observations to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and over 35,000 trusted images to the Encyclopedia of Life. Thanks to everyone who helped us pass this landmark by adding observations and helping identify observations made by others. The iNaturalist community is charting new territory in figuring out how to transform natural history activity into data for science and conservation. Keep up the good work!
