Geographic tags are a cornerstone of biological research and are more accessible than ever through resources like iNaturalist, GBIF, and social media. However, conservation concerns surrounding poaching, habitat overuse, and safe access are ever present in the nature space. This webinar provides an overview of the issues, covers best practices for obscuring geographic information, and details how apps like iNaturalist are protecting threatened taxa.
