GBS 2023 was another great success
GBS 2023 was another great success for #citizenscience.
New participants, observations and recorded species, including rare and endangered species.
At least 160 species were recorded for the first time on iNaturalist (at a global or local level). The countries of South America have recorded the highest amphibian biodiversity recorded in the world! Live our species!
The general report on observations from each country will be published soon. The big bioblitz is the biggest biodiversity event during spring in our hemisphere. It is a collaboration between scientists and nature lovers united for dissemination and environmental preservation. If you love biodiversity or photography, join us in the next event in 2024.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Its a fantatic event.
I hope that in 2024 the cooperation with local INaturalists can be expanded .
Comparing CNC 2023 with 29 tousend observations in Brazil, and GSB with 17 tousend observations, we estimate an increase of 30 to 40%.
Best regards.

Well done to all the participants especially those participating for the 1st time.
Being from the African continent... special congrats to the following newbies, for their sterling efforts in biodiversity surveying:
Pondoland Region, Eastern Cape province, South Africa - almost 8500 observations made by just 53 observers
Zambezi region, Namibia - 5500 observations made by 46 observers
Makana District, Eastern Cape province, South Africa - 4100 observations made by just 28 observers
