VEGMAPhoto Project progress report

Dear VEGMappers

It's already been nearly three years since this project began! In that time 54 of us have joined the project with an incredible 307 observations uploaded and identified by 22 members and 70 identifiers. Thanks to everyone!

These images, and the data you provide on the condition of the habitat and communities present are invaluable to the VEGMAP Project (http://bgis.sanbi.org/vegmap) and the associated assessments and processes that it feeds into. We thought that now would be a good time to take stock of where we are with our goal of building a catalogue of the many communities that exist within each vegetation type.

So far we have collected photographs for just over 80 of our 459 vegetation types. The map below shows the distribution of photographs in this project. Vegetation types in darker green have more images while white spaces indicate types that have not yet been tagged in this project.

While progress has been good, there are still over 350 vegetation types that have not been photographed and added to the project!

So while you're out and about during the upcoming City Nature Challenge remember to take a few landscape images of the ecosystem as well, and tag VEGMAPhoto (s Afr). If you have a backlog of images with GPS co-ordinates but don't have the time to upload them yourself, email us at vegmap@sanbi.org.za and we will assist you by uploading them for you.

Until our next update, Happy iNatting!
The Vegmap Team
