Participation in the City Nature Challenge this month has pushed the monthly totals sky high with all previously monthly records in SA being broken. In fact for most counts we doubled our monthly average.
This month we had 306 users upload 11,473 observations with 236 species observed for the first time, bringing our totals to 96,054 observations of 5,769 species.
There were 134 first time observers in South Australia, more than double the previous month, bringing the total to 1,881.
We also broke the record for total number of species observed during the month, pushing it from 1,537 up to 1,743.

Hi @cobaltducks , great post as always! just wondering is there a way to extract data on first time users for a project?
Hi @stephen169, this can generally be achieved by using the Explore page filters plus an additional term in the URL. The data can also be downloaded in a spreadsheet if needed.
For example, the below URL shows all users who created iNat accounts in the last 30 days, who contributed at least one observation to the project "City Nature Challenge 2020: Greater Adelaide"
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&project_id=city-nature-challenge-2020-greater-adelaide&subview=grid&user_after=30d&verifiable=any&view=observers
You can change any of the Filter parameters as usual, i.e. change the Project, Place, Taxa, etc. You can also adjust the "30d" in the URL to change the date range i.e. "7d" will show users who created accounts in the last 7 days.
Will this get you the info you are after?
