I am a Conservation Biologist / Database Manager for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Science's Natural Heritage Program at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (That's quite the mouth full). I might be contacting you for more precise location information on species of conservation concern in order to add to the Natural Heritage's database of listed and tracked species. (https://www.mdwfp.com/museum/seek-study/natural-heritage-program/)
I also started a MS Natural Heritage Program's iNaturalist project for crowdsourcing observations. Our project looks for species of concern that are ranked S1-S3S4. In a nutshell, our ranking system is basically a scale of 1-5. An S-Rank of S1 means the species is really rare, while a S5 is a commonly occurring species (like deer). The ranking S3S4 as seen above, is basically a rank of 3.5. Feel free to join and contribute to our mission of wildlife conservation!
