"Mammals of the Quabbin" Spotlight (Week of 1.7.2024)

Hi!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Exciting news! In line with my promise that through this project, I'd aim to better protect native wildlife, I went back into the Massachusetts Endangered Mammals List and iNaturalist observations and determined that observation locations for the Tricolored Bat and Little Brown Bat could make colonies vulnerable to interruption and should be obscured in Massachusetts. I'm excited to announce that my request for this was approved shortly after proposing it! Along with using iNaturalist as a tool and a hobby to document species locations, it's just as important to protect species locations when necessary. I'm thrilled about this significant win for mammal conservation efforts!

Thanks to @carefortheplanet for taking on the role of a new manager! Your dedication and willingness to contribute to the project will undoubtedly enhance its effectiveness. Feel free to introduce yourself to the members of the group and share your interests!

With 31 members now, the community is growing, and the increased participation in uploading Quabbin mammal observations is a testament to the group's enthusiasm and commitment. Keep up the excellent work, and I hope everyone has an inspiring week ahead!
