GSBiogroup reaches 500k Observations

The GSBiogroup has been active for over a year now. The idea of having an ongoing project for GSB participants and organisers came about as we wished to create a community that would work together to spread biodiversity awareness throughout the global south.
This group will help participants remain active outside the GSB main event, to be held at the end of October this year.
GSB2022
The group has reached another milestone with the number of observations exceeding 500K what an amazing effort by all, including some fantastic observations.
