What This Project Is
This project is an attempt to create a listing of individual organisms rather than a listing of observations. For purpose of this project, a persistent community of the same species of organisms may be considered "an organism."
Reasons this data is useful:
- Linking individuals rather than species to map coordinates reveals distribution patterns.
- Tracking individuals reveals the effects of environment and other factors on individuals.
- Thinking of non-humans as individuals encourages people to see them as important and worthy of respect in their own right.
Potential use examples:
- Tracking stray cats for TNR programs.
- Studying how environmental factors affect the growth of different trees of the same species.
