iNaturalist (Q16958215) is a citizen science project focused on biodiversity. It has a large community of enthusiasts, of which some are also active in the various Wikimedia communities. This wikiproject aims at improving the cross-pollination between iNaturalist and Wikimedia communities. Wikimedia Commons is an ideal platform to source iNaturalist with observations while iNaturalist with its high-grade annotations of observations provides valuable references to Wikidata statements. "Research grade" observations are incorporated into other online databases such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (Q1531570). iNaturalist supports many Wikimedia-compatible licensing options, including CC0 (Q6938433), Creative Commons Attribution (Q6905323) and Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (Q6905942). Snippets from English Wikipedia are also used on iNaturalist to describe individual taxa.

'm adding quite a lot of common names to the species pages. Could you create an automatic loop that associates these names with specific countries, e.g. a German common name with Germany & Austria? This would be an elegant solution for those languages that are currently quite far off a fully translated version of the iNat website. The new option of setting your preferences to a specific place is great, but manually linking newly added common names to places is quite cumbersome (time-wise, I'd rather add 2 names to iNat than adding 1 name plus associating it with a country).
Speaking of which: I still think that a drop-down in the top menu of iNat allowing to switch between available languages would hugely increase iNat's appeal to the global community. Any development in this direction, or currently of low priority? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/inaturalist/automatic$20name$20script%7Csort:date/inaturalist/qPzyThRmmMc/2uaPdoL0BAAJ
