Other iNaturalist projects you might like to join
Below is a list of ongoing projects in iNaturalist. Some require you to manually select it every time you submit an observation you want to add to that project. Other will decide which of your observations meets their project guidelines (only if you ask to join the project). I take photos of all sorts of things when I'm outside and if that helps someone else with their research, cheers! Having a bunch of projects tagged for my observations helps me with identifications. I can only barely differentiate animal, vegetable, mineral enough to get the ball rolling on IDs for a large percentage of the stuff I will poke at and take a photo of so the more projects I can add my observations to, the more likely I'll get an ID.
By submitting observations to a project rather than leaving them in the ether,
you may find identifiers who can shed light on some of your 'unknowns'. INat researchers might request you to look for certain flora/fauna in your area that they're hoping to fill data gaps on. They might have expert tips for what photo angles precisely are needed for a solid ID. I even had an iNat user ask me if they could use some of my photos in a book they'd like to publish.
The list below is what I have in my pile of projects but there are countless opportunities to add as you like. Let me know of other projects that we ought to add to this master list for anyone looking for topics they'd like to learn more about.
