mise à jour COVID-19 update

Hello iNaturalists!

This update is to inform you that the City-Nature-Challenge will be continuing with a few important changes. The global organizers have removed the 'competition' component of the event to ensure there is no pressure to participate (https://citynaturechallenge.org/). An additional component of this event was to organize in groups to maximize observations and knowledge. Given the current pandemic, ALL GROUP ACTIVITIES MUST BE CANCELLED. Everyone should follow all relevant instructions from their local authorities. If you are able to participate, you should (according to current instructions) ensure you do not gather with anyone outside your family groups and avoid travelling. If that changes between now and the event (April 23-27), these activities can be revisited. Lastly, people can most certainly take advantage of their own backyards and local neighborhoods within the Ottawa-Gatineau NCR region for recording observations. However, please try to avoid posting observations of captive/cultivated organisms, especially trees and plants that are in gardens/arboretums. Please write me at NCR.nature.RCN@gmail.com if you have questions or concerns.

Bonjour iNaturalists!

Cette mise à jour a pour but de vous informer que le Défi Nature Urbaine se poursuivra avec quelques changements importants. Les organisateurs mondiaux ont supprimé la composante «compétition» de l'événement pour s'assurer qu'il n'y a aucune pression pour participer (https://citynaturechallenge.org/). Une composante supplémentaire de cet événement était d'organiser en groupes pour maximiser les observations et les connaissances. Compte tenu de la pandémie actuelle, TOUTES LES ACTIVITÉS DU GROUPE DOIVENT ÊTRE ANNULÉES. Chacun devrait suivre toutes les instructions pertinentes de ses autorités locales. Si vous êtes en mesure de participer, vous devez (selon les instructions en vigueur) vous assurer de ne pas vous réunir avec quelqu'un en dehors de vos groupes familiaux et éviter de voyager. Si cela change d'ici à l'événement (23-27 avril), ces activités peuvent être revues. Enfin, les gens peuvent certainement profiter de leur propre arrière-cour et de leurs quartiers locaux dans la région de la RCN d'Ottawa-Gatineau pour enregistrer leurs observations. Cependant, veuillez éviter de publier des observations d'organismes captifs/cultivés, en particulier des arbres et des plantes qui se trouvent dans des jardins / arboretums. Veuillez m'écrire à NCR.nature.RCN@gmail.com si vous avez des questions ou des préoccupations.

So, all we need to do is submit observations?

Posted by chartuso almost 4 years ago

@chartuso YES ! all observations taken during the event (photo taken and shared April 23-27) within the NCR region are automatically added to the event and can be seen on this project page. Please note that the boundary for the competition is the National Capital Region (map can be seen on project page) which does not quite line up with the Ottawa-Gatineau city boundaries! Can't wait for all records!!!

Signed up. Will be in Orleans are of Ottawa

Posted by nigrosh60 almost 4 years ago

Sorry, two more questions:
1) Does the photo need to be shared within that period or can we have a few extra days to upload photos? It is very difficult to submit photos on the same day in my case and, also, there are sometimes good reasons to delay posting for the animal's sake (even with obscuring location).
2) @nigrosh60 mentioned "signing up". I don't see any mention of how or where to sign up.

Thank you.

Posted by chartuso almost 4 years ago

@chartuso

the photo has to be taken and shared within the 4-day event (April 24-27), it doesn't have to be shared the same day it is taken, but both have to happen within the 'observations' timelines. Then we have another week to add/confirm identifications
if you already have an iNaturalist account, that is the important part, if you like, you can join the facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/2466648430315476/?active_tab=about or follow on twitter https://twitter.com/bioblitz2020 for updates!
