Some headline stats for the year

The figures for the last two years show that the number of users, observations and species recorded has continued to grow. In 2022 over 12,600 species were recorded which compares to 11,930 in 2021. 

One of the most favourited observations from the UK was the Common Slowworm spotted in June – it was picked for iNaturalist’s global Observation of the Day. See the posts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram 

In March, NBN Award winner, George Grieff’s observation of Don’s Thread-Moss observed near Bristol was iNaturalist’s global Observation of the Day. The posts can be seen on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Highlights from across the globe include the striking Tropical Pill Woodlouse and the wonderful Usambara Eyelash Viper.
