iNaturalist Projects List for South Australia
UPDATE: Project list current as of 9/10/2020
iNaturalist allows for the creation of three project types: Umbrella Projects, Collection Projects and Traditional Projects.
Currently the Project Search page lists a few Featured, Recently Active and Recently Created projects, but doesn't provide additional search features, such as searching for projects by region, taxa or users. This means it can be difficult to find projects that may be of interest.
Here, I have attempted to collate all the iNat projects that relate specifically to South Australia. They have been organised by project type and further by taxa or location. I've also attempted to group projects with similar themes.
The most active projects will be those with the highest "News Posts" and highest "Project Members".
Please let me know if there are any projects I've missed. I'll update this list as more projects are created.
Project Type: Umbrella Projects
Umbrella Projects are used to compare statistics across two or more Collection or Traditional Projects, allowing visual comparisons of data among projects under the umbrella, including project leaderboards and links to each Collection or Traditional Project.
All the projects linked to the Umbrella Projects are listed individually below, with the exception of the Collection Projects in "Protected Parks of South Australia" , "City of Onkaparinga NATUREhoodz", "Ferals in South Australian Reserves" , Local Government Areas of South Australia, Adelaide Parklands, South Australia and the TFL Umbrella Projects as this would make the list below unwieldy. Click through to these Umbrella Projects to see the linked Collections Projects.

This is a fantastic list! Did you collate it yourself? Just by searching? Or is there some way of creating an Umbrella project that then collates all the projects that fall into a certain region? I'd love to know if there is something like this available for Victoria, and if not, then can you help me create one?
Hi @row_nature, I like the idea of an Umbrella Project feature that finds all Collection Projects that it encompasses. That would make this easier.
This list has been built up over time. Searching on the 'Projects' page will only bring up projects with the search term in the project title. But you can still find a few by choosing relevant search terms, (i.e. Victoria), or the names of various parks, suburbs, and nature groups.
You can use the 'Explore' page to find the those users with the most observations in Vic and check out the projects they have joined on their profile pages. These users are often the creators of many projects, or have joined the most.
Also keep an eye on new observations being uploaded in Vic. Look at the observations to see which projects they are included in. Many new projects are created by people new to iNat who have joined to create a project to associate with their nature group, conservation program, event, etc.
And of course, you can always create your own projects :)
