- We will not know for sure what position we were in until the last city (Maui) has finalised their records. 9am Monday Maui time is 3am Tuesday Hong Kong time.
Again, a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of you that incorporated the CNC into your normal activities, made specific activities or just promoted amongst your students, family, friends and colleagues. We have smashed our previous records and it is all down to your hard work and energy.
Also, a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of you who offered identifications to our observations throughout the CNC and last week. I know it’s a thankless task yet you’ve helped to inform and educate all of our participants as well as improving the iNaturalist database around our city.
Going forward, I wholeheartedly encourage the use of iNaturalist within your schools, organisations and communities. It still is a fantastic strategy to get the public more aware and engaged with local, and global, biodiversity. I’d be happy to discuss this with anybody who wishes to take it further.
Photos & Videos:
Thanks for all of the videos and photos that some of you have sent me so far.
Please send any photos/videos that you have of your activities to me (perhaps through a link on Google Drive?). I have an idea to create marketing materials for next year’s event and/or organise a follow-up event that celebrates Hong Kong's CNC involvement, perhaps a gallery of some of the pictures taken on iNaturalist and pictures of participants in action. I will, of course, keep you all updated in this regard and credit appropriately.
Post-CNC Sharing Session:
At some point I shall be organising a session in which we can all describe our experiences, concerns and participant feedback. This is incredibly important as we would want to improve on our outreach and activities next year plus the Main Organisers for the CNC would be very interested in it. Currently, I am thinking about the beginning of June but will reach out again when I have a proper venue and date/time in mind.
Once again, thank you so much for getting involved.
Will speak soon.
Cheers!
Shaun
