Our community includes islanders and off-islanders, amateurs and experts alike—anyone who has added observations to the iNaturalist project, helped identify local species, or otherwise lent their support. Numerous researchers within the region have contributed their expertise, including members of the Royal BC Museum and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. Yet our network extends further: through the iNaturalist platform, our observations are seen and identified by people around the world. Visit the Community page to learn more.

Historical data recorded on the Biodiversity Galiano project include voucher specimens preserved and databased in regional herbaria and museums, inventories or lists prepared by independent researchers for specific localities, and other published and unpublished records of the island biodiversity.
