We're outpacing the increase in iNat observations by over 150%!
To everyone helping with the Herp Atlas: You are amazing!!
As of June 9th, we now have over 1300 Herp observations in Nova Scotia and our coverage is getting better and better across the province.
We've been getting a few questions about whether or not we're making a difference. After all, more and more people are using iNaturalist so are we seeing more observations because of the Herp Atlas or just because we have more users in NS?
Lets compare how much all observations have increased compared to Herps...
