Hi All,
Thanks to key support from the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust, we've been able to develop a historical data import tool to make it much easier for anybody to upload historical records into NatureMapr - previously, this was a complex task that could only be performed by our team.
You will notice a new + Import sightings link in the Add a sighting dropdown menu as well as a new My imports link in your user dropdown menu.
If you're a landholder or keen citizen scientist who has been recording your own records for years, but haven't uploaded them anywhere because it seems overwhelming, this should make things a bit easier and also ensure your efforts don't go to waste.
Please watch our how-to upload historic records video and give the new tool a try.
As we are piloting this new tool, we are very keen for your feedback as well as any suggestions for further improvements.
Cheers
Aaron.
