Update: More Places, More Projects


It's been a while since I've added an update to this project. I've created most of the "Places" with simpler boundaries. The remaining protected places take a little more time time map out. Nevertheless I've added projects for the protected places listed below since the last update. The full list now stands at 380 protected places, with another 50 or so yet to be added.
Many of these projects lack banner images. If you happen to have a suitably representative photo of any of these parks that would crop well to the 21:9 banner size, let me know and I can add it to the project.

New South Australian Places Created, Projects Added

Another batch of South Australian public parks has been added to iNat, and all have been linked to this Umbrella Project. A list is provided below. All areas have some form of protection and are accessible by the public. However, if intending to visit these parks (especially those further from populated areas) please take note that some may have periodic or seasonal closures, access may be limited due to road conditions, some may have entry fees or may require a permit be obtained before entry.

iNat has made some changes to how the map is displayed in Umbrella Projects. There is now an option to turn off the place name 'flags'. The upside is that the map for this project is now no longer overcrowded with project names. The downside is that without the flags it can be difficult to tell which place on the map relates to which collection project. However, in many instances the underlying Google map has some place names that become visible when zoomed in.

New Conservation Parks:
Kapunda Island, Media Island, Pullen Island, Rilli Island, Baudin Rocks, Mount Dutton Bay, Cap Island, Baird Bay Islands, Hesperilla, West Island, Pigface Island, Busby Islet, Wanilla Land Settlement, Olive Island, Avoid Bay Islands, Goose Island, Tumby Island, Point Labatt, Moody Tank, Kathai, Gambier Islands, Gum Tree Gully, Verran Tanks, Finniss, Eba Island, Greenly Island, Wittelbee, Corrobinnie Hill, Wharminda, Laura Bay, Whidbey Isles, Cygnet Estuary, Tucknott Scrub, Waldegrave Islands, Pelican Lagoon, Murrunatta, Sceale Bay, Point Bell, Sleaford Mere, Carappee Hill, Searcy Bay, Hincks, Lincoln, Vivonne Bay, Kellidie Bay, Caralue Bluff, Yeldulknie, Calpatanna Waterhole, Acraman Creek, Peachna, Ediacara, Barwell, Chadinga, Boondina, Gawler Ranges, Cocata, Bascombe Well, Bimbowrie, Yumbarra, Simpson Desert, Tallaringa, Mamungari
