Project Eden is 2 years running

In order to update and register project's actions, also here in Inaturalist I will spread the information!

Current stage of the Project: a bit of anarcho-primitivism, deep ecology, survivalism and the Information Age (scientific). A beginning of a libertarian ecologism and permaculture.

• Registration of local fauna and flora (taxonomy);
• Raising awareness on nature issues via filming of organisms;
• Sensitization of neighbors about the protection of the stream, forest, ecological balance and local organisms;
• Social awareness for do it yourself and don't buy more;
• Creation of infrastructure for personal camping;
• Generation of formal infrastructure such as a fence, gate and pest mowing (example: bamboo);
• Testing and prototyping of sustainable structures and applied scientific knowledge;
• Survey of utilities and knowledge relevant to the project on several fronts (database);
• Identification of climate, permanence conditions and local adversities;
• Learning general urban culinary techniques and the use of common inputs in the agricultural environment;
• Promotion of the channel.

Specimens of Project Eden were included in GBIF—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility

More than 40 organism's observations done for Project Eden (https://www.youtube.com/@Vidaorganicacasaecomida/videos) [1] were added to compose the largest organisms collection of life on Earth last week. These specimens include insects, amphibian and plants in the Brazil South Region of Mixed Ombrophylous Forest.
The entire list of observations can be found at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&user_id=charlestelles&verifiable=any.
GBIF—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility—is an international network and data infrastructure funded by the world's governments and aimed at providing anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all types of life on Earth. As one example of the inclusion we can find it at https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4067216141 of Copiphorini, taxon Tettigoniidae [2] and Ephemera, taxon Begonia L. that can be found at https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4067195204 [3].

New specie originated from Odontophrynus americanus was found and pictures included for Inaturalist photos collection

I randomly recorded [1] and photographed an amphibian (toad) and as I am not an expert in the field, I was surprised to learn that it is a new species Odontophrynus reigi discovered in 2021 [2], known as the mud frog.
The amount of images of this animal is very small as well as the identification of their locations. From the video [1], 3 images were incorporated by the Inaturalist website as part of the collection of images of this species [3] which now has 5 high quality images of the new species. The Inaturalist website is an initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and a joint initiative with the National Geographic Society.
The identification was made by Professor Diego Santana [4] who works at the Zoology lab at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) on the Inaturalist website.
According to research [2], O. americanus is tetraploid and in this case has 44 chromosomes, while O. reigi is diploid and has 22 chromosomes.
