Can you spare a half hour?
we could realy do with some of your expertise with helping identify some of the observations in Botswana.

Dont forget Cape Town and the Garden Route: they need far more IDs!!
But these are low hanging fruit. Help them quickly.
To do the IDs, rather use the curation tool: it makes life much easier.
short tutorial: https://vimeo.com/246153496
If you want to just do a specific group (e..g Birds or Thorntrees), then enter this in the species box at the top of the ID/curation tool.
Quick Links using the ID tool:
Gaborone urgent IDs (142) & Reviews (180)
Bots C urgent IDs (95) & Reviews (101)
Bots N urgent IDs (166) & Reviews (337)
Kenya urgent IDs (355) & Reviews (416);
Zambia urgent IDs (193) & Reviews (240)
Zimbabwe urgent IDs (560) & Reviews (959)
Numbers will change as progress is made. Those reviewed by you will not show up again if you revisit (you can switch them on again if you want - click the reviewed box on the top line. )
These observations have no IDs at all - help place them to family or genus so that the experts/specialists/enthusiasts can work with them

Dont forget to FAVE the best observations while you are reviewing. Faves will contribute to determining the top observation for each town and country and the competition
See the faves (for the whole GSB2020) here:

Absolutely @tonyrebelo Thought I would start with a shout out to the little guys.
3,000 Observers
12,000 species
Will we make 90,000 observations? We only need 810 more. Can we not find another 1% somewhere??
Have you faved your top observations yet? Come on - you only have 30 hours to do so. Get faving!!!

To fave an observation, open it (click!!) and underneath the map click on the star!! It is as simple as that.
You can nominate any picture, but to win you are going to have to get supporters to help you: you will need at least 5 faves to get into the top 10!!!
Come on: time is running out!
90 000 observations
Well done!
