Hello! A lot has happened since the last update to this project.

* We now have a webpage where you can learn more about One Tam, Peak Health, and the California Giant Salamander Inventory and see more instructions about contributing to the iNaturalist project: https://www.onetam.org/our-work/california-giant-salamander-inventory

* Thank you for sharing your observations with this project!!!! Dr. Lisette Arellano (aka @ten_salamanders) finished a report on the status of California Giant Salamanders for the latest update One Tam's Peak Health whitepaper. She was able to use many of the observations you shared to garner support for further investment in this species. Publication forthcoming some time in 2023.

* Please welcome our salamander interns Angel Meza-Cerna from City College of San Francisco and Bria Boose from San Francisco State University. We are grateful to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy's Nina Robert's Academic Internship Program. Angel and Bria will be working on annotating and retrieving obscured California Giant Salamander observations from iNat. Our goal is to make a map of California Giant Salamander occurrences and to add data on age structure and salamander health. We will be working on a data/education project to share out later this summer.

Thanks again for your support! Go Giant Salamander!
