Watching NZ versus the world

Each of NZ's city projects as it's own buzz and journal posts, so click through to each project to get the local take on progress.

If you want to see how NZ is doing against the world's cities, check out the following two global projects:

https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2024-north-and-south-america

This year the challenge is split across two projects, presumably to save the iNat's over-worked server's from exploding.

Aotearoa is in the Eurasia-Africa-Oceania project, where Wellington and Christchurch are bouncing about in the top 5 to top 10 cities. Cape Town will be a city to watch, as they've done spectacularly well in some past challenges, and they woke up many hours later than NZ.

The other project is for North and South America, including San Francisco where iNat was born, and LA which led the first ever City Nature Challenge against San Francisco. La Paz in Bolivia is the one to watch here. In recent challenges La Paz have made the rest of the world's city's look foolish, with their enthusiasm and tropical biodiversity advantage.
