Hi all! Excited to join the biodiversity.social community!
#introduction
Ecotenet is a platform whose goal is to connect nature-based knowledge to place through the lens of ecoregions (we just added soil regions too!).
So not only can you learn about all of the species present in your region, you can also learn how we as humans interact with (or utilize) these species.
The majority of our species data is sourced through @gbif, so shoutout!
