Addition of contact phone number to user profiles

In preparation for the establishment of our data feed to the NSW BioNet database, NatureMapr has added an optional phone number field to NatureMapr user profiles.

Phone number is an important contact field for decision makers who run professional citizen science programs that share formal records with NSW BioNet.

If you are contributing records in NSW and the ACT, and are comfortable with your contact phone number being shared with decision makers along with your uploaded sightings, we recommend you consider adding your phone number to your NatureMapr user profile.

This will help add further validity to the overall quality of citizen science records shared with decision makers through NatureMapr.

To update your user profile and enter your contact phone number, you can simply go to "Account settings" in your user dropdown menu (top right of screen).
