I am working with the official Norwegian biological citizen science program:
https://artsobservasjoner.no/

Comparision with iNaturalist and other similar programs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_citizen_science_projects
In short it can be said that they both started in 2008, the Norwegian database is four times bigger, (nr 3 in the world!) even with only 1,000 users, iNaturalist has 400,000 users.

I am engaged in improving the program, validation of data, user support, education and of course putting in my own findings of all kinds from Norway.

I try to cover most lifeform groups such as all groups of invertebrats on land or in sea or fresh
water, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, bats and other mammals, all sorts of plants, fungi, algae, mosses and lichens, to be able to understand how the users need and want the program to function for all these different groups.
