UPDATE: Hong Kong Social Unrest

Dear Participants and School Representatives,

Firstly, thank you so much for all of your work in mobilising your students, staff and communities for the HKISCNC, especially with the current social unrest.

While we would like your students and staff to still be a part of the identification process, we understand that your schools are having to make tough decisions regarding staying open or closed and we sympathise with the stress that you all must be going through. With this in mind, we will extend the ID period deadline to 6pm, Friday 22nd November but will consider more alternatives if needed.

For all of you iNaturalist Identifiers out there, THANK YOU SO MUCH. We appreciate every single one of your efforts and I'm sure you have made a positive impression to many of our participants.

As you may know, the current political and social unrest has now limited our volunteers and students' capacity to be fully involved in the HKISCNC and this has affected our ability to offer IDs to our observations. We are trying to manage this as best we can yet we would appreciate your continued assistance especially up until our new deadline.

Thanks everyone and stay safe.

Cheers!
Shaun
