Changed both IUCN statuses to LC, removed genus level status

Should remain obscured but not at the genus level

Posted by craig-r over 1 year ago

Status had been added at genus level of "Least Concern", equivalent to IUCN VU, which was clearly an error, so I corrected it to be equivalent to IUCN LC. As for obscuration at genus level, this was clearly the intent of @peggydnew who added this genus level entry, so best discussed before removing it. If left at species level, obscuration will only happen when observations are identified to species level.

Thanks for this. I have created errors in the IUCN equivalent field for many taxa so I'll talk to iNaturalist about whether I can fix that in bulk. My apologies.
The QLD list does have this marked as Confidential at genus level, and then also the 2 child species at species level. link: https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/species-search/details/?id=20973

Thanks @peggydnew! I feel like the IUCN equivalent field could be smarter, or default to blank unless filled. It seems to default to VU unless changed manually

No, that VU is my fault, not iNaturalist. I provided the field, and have made a mistake in prepping the data.
It's hard to make it smart - we're trying at the ALA to bring together all of the states conservation statuses. I'd really hate to be trying to do the same internationally.
Thanks for your patience.

I'm removing the genus level status. This was an issue for some higher level taxa entries in the Qld Confidential list.
