Q: Why are so many of the species in the region not on iNaturalist?

Posted by tonyrebelo 9 months ago

A: They are, but for some reason they have been made inactive.
you can see the inactive ones on our checklist: https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/4436345-leeches-of-s-Afr?q=&view=photo&taxon=&observed=any&threatened=any&establishment_means=any&occurrence_status=any&rank=all&taxonomic_status=all&commit=Filter

Unfortunately, when made inactive one cannot reload them from the external name providers.
Some 19 of our 29 Freshwater species are currently inactive.

We have flagged some for re-activation. (Aliolimnatis buntonensis, A. obscura, A. oligodonta, Helobdella conifera, Hemiclepsis quadrata, Hirudo hildebrandti, Praobdella radiata) - some others have already been activated.
