Tanzania - iNaturalist World Tour

We finish Week 6 of the iNaturalist World Tour in Tanzania. Here, @martingrimm is the top observer with observations clustered in an arch from the capital of Dar es Salaam south east to the Udzungwa mountains. Activity of most of the other top observers is centered around the two flagship protected areas Serengeti and Ngorongoro near the border with Kenya (e.g. @davidbygott, @wildnothos, @avocat, and @mikeloomis),

The number of observations per month began increasing in 2017 but seems to have leveled off for the time being around 1000 observations per month.

@jakob is the top identifier in Tanzania and also leads the insect category. While his research focuses on African bats his expertise extends to many groups of taxa across the African continent. @johnnybirder, a very keen birdwatcher originally from South Africa, leads the bird category. @ldacosta leads mammals. Thanks to many other top observers such as @calebcam, @maxallenm, and @marcoschmidtffm.

What can we do to get more people using iNaturalist in Tanzania? Are there any institutions we could collaborate with to try to get more Tanzanians and year-round residents involved? Please share your thoughts below or on this forum thread
