Milestone 10,000 citizen science observations for Yunbenun (Magnetic) Island

A milestone 10,000 observations has been achieved for this citizen science project. The 10,000th observation was a Bengal sergeant by Adam Smith https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/193105614

The most species 374 and most observations 1,037 have been by @valryr . The most identifications at 679 by @joefish. Congratulations and thank your for your dedication to knowledge sharing and citizen science

The top three species are koala, Allied rock wallaby and Goldstripe butterflyfish.

Insects comprise 38.15%, plants 18.67% and fish 11.8% of observations

Just over 61% of observations are research grade so we need experts to review and assist with species identifications.

Currently 1995 species have been observed so the next milestone is 2000 species.

Please contact @adam_smith3 if you have suggestions on how this project can be improved or linked to education, traditional knowledge and management

A project search indicates that there are more observations from Magnetic than Fraser Island (Qld), Rottnest Island (WA) and less than Kangaroo Island (SA)
