Brilliant effort by all for a weekend of observing nature and a further 2 weeks to identify all the observations.

Headline Results.
Please note: due to a quirk in iNaturalist, the "species" [species and higher leaves) totals on the project leaderboard are different from those on the individual projects (which includes subspecies). These are the values from the project pages.
Note the figures for Stellenbosch exclude observations from a user who has blocked access her data.
Note that these figures are the official at the end of the event. On the projects and umbrella they will continue to change as users add extra observations, split multiple observations, delete observations, make identifications and continue using the site. So these are the official figures: any discrepancies are post event.

Faves:

Please continue to vote for faves. At least until your city-region organizer announces their best observation

How can you see them most easily:
For southern Africa: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?order_by=votes&place_id=any&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2022-southern-africa-umbrella&verifiable=any
For your city: On top menu, click Explore, open grey filter box, click more filters, in the projects box add "great southern 2022" and your city name and select your, and then in the "sort by" box click faves, click update search.
e.g. Garden Route: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?order_by=votes&place_id=any&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2022-garden-route&verifiable=any
Zimbabwe: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?order_by=votes&place_id=any&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2022-zimbabwe&verifiable=any
Zambia: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?order_by=votes&place_id=any&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2022-zambia&verifiable=any

Overall, although we had 1412 identifiers, the most faved observation so far (a tie of three observations) only has 9 faves - that is less than 1% of identifier's votes.

Clearly, we need our identifiers to be far more liberal at voting favourites, and we need to involve observers as well.
