Our next goal will of course be 1,000 species. Hereby I'll promose a small donation to a wildlife charity when we reach that. On top of that, a donation for rhino protection will also be made at 4,000 photos, as promised earlier :) Posted 13 years ago
Perhaps you did not know this yet, but JungleDragon has a special overview in which only photos appear that do not have a specie identified:

Sometimes there is no specie on the photo (for example a landscape), sometimes we simply don't know the specie. I think there's a few dozen more species hiding in that overview, but these are hard to identify. Posted 13 years ago
