Data which reaches "Research Grade" in iNaturalist will be passed to iRecord in the NBN - UK's biological data verification process for inclusion of records in the NBN Species Atlas - https://nbnatlas.org/

During the UK Data Verification process it is necessary for the reviewers to be able to assign names of the recorders to the records so that they can have some understanding of the expertise of the individual recorder associated with the record they are looking at.

On iNaturalist many recorders/observers use 'nicknames' as their User Name instead of using their real/actual names; this makes it very difficult if not impossible for UK record verifiers to be certain of some records and as a consequence some data is unable to be used.

If you want your records to be usable within the UK can you please consider changing your User Name in iNaturalist to the following format: "forename_ surname".

Many thanks for your help in this matter.

A new project has been set-up (on 25/02/2020) to allow recorders to collate wildlife data to support the Anglican Bishops in their encouragement of the population to observe and share wildlife sightings and to care for and look after the natural environment - https://www.churchofengland.org/more/media-centre/news/archbishop-launches-church-englands-first-ever-green-lent-campaign

Care for God’s Creation is the Church of England's Lent Campaign for 2020. With weekly themes shaped around the first Genesis account of creation, it explores the urgent need for humans to value and protect the abundance God has created. This year’s #LiveLent challenge offers 40 short reflections and suggested actions to help you, your family and your church live in greater harmony with God, neighbour and nature.

It has been inspired and informed by the Archbishop of Canterbury's 2020 Lent Book, Saying Yes to Life by Ruth Valerio (SPCK).
