CALLING ALL HONG KONG iNATURALISTAS!!!

Hi Everyone!

The CITY NATURE CHALLENGE 2019 is nearly upon us!
A FANTASTIC worldwide project to increase engagement with nature.

Once again, Hong Kong has entered a competition with over 170 cities worldwide and all participants have to do is take photographs of nature (trees, plants, insects, birds, fungi, fish, reptiles, rocky shore/mangrove sps etc) and upload them onto iNaturalist. That's it!!!

Competition Dates: Friday 26th April - Monday 29th April
Identification Dates: Friday 26th April - Sunday 5th May

You have been tagged as you are one of the most prolific iNaturalist observers and identifiers in Hong Kong and I would love for you to get involved! Examples of involvement could include:

1) Incorporate the CNC 2019 in any activity (research, data collection, nature walk, mini-bioblitz, etc) already planned between April 26-29th. (Or organise an activity specifically for the CNC 2019 on these dates)

2) Encourage students, colleagues, clients and friends to participate in the CNC 2019 through official channels or personal networks.

3) Assistance in identifying species on the iNaturalist project in the week following the CNC 2019.

Also, Macau will be joining in the fun this year and I'm sure they would appreciate any assistance.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask here or through email: s1martinhk@gmail.com
I'll be giving more updates as and when they come in. :)

Cheers!
Shaun
