> Hello!
>
> The Western Ghats Portal team is happy to present the Observation Interface -
> a biodiversity observation recording module. This is a citizen science
> initiative, where users can upload species observations; collaboratively
> identify species; and contribute to enriching our understanding of
> biodiversity. The objective is to crowd source biodiversity information from
> scientists, amateurs and naturalists dispersed across various geographies.

>
> Here is how one can contribute:
>
> - Have an observation with a photograph to share
> - Upload a photograph/many photographs of one species
> - Choose an associated creative commons license for the photograph/s
> - Provide a species name, if known - or get help for identification from a
> wider community
> - Mark the location of the observation
> - Write some notes on the observation
>
> The community can agree with the species identification or suggest a
> different species name; comment on the observation and can interact amongst
> their facebook networks. The crowd sourced information through the
> Observation interface will be curated for developing species pages and
> distribution maps, collectively enhancing our understanding of biodiversity.
>
> We request you to be a part of building up an open access biodiversity
> information system.
>
> We look forward to your active collaboration!
