How to Batch Upload iNaturalist Observations to a particular Project

How to Batch Upload iNaturalist Observations to a particular Project – in this case, the Canada 150 – Canada Day Biodiversity Challenge. Prepared by Colin D. Jones.

Step #1 – go to the relevant project page, in this case
and click on “Add from your observations”

This will search for and show any observations that meet the project’s criteria – see graphic below.
Step #2 – click on “Batch edit”



Step #3 – click on “Select All”



This will select all of the observations (see check in box to the left of each observation).
Step #4 – click on “Add to project”



This will bring up a window of all of the projects that you have joined.
Step #5 – click on “Add” next to the relevant project – in this case “Canada 150 – Canada Day Biodiversity Challenge”



That’s it – you’re done. All of these observation will now be added to the project.
If additional observations are added to iNaturalist later, the same process can be used to batch upload another set.

  1. Many thanks Mike for giving this information.
    It is not obvious within iNaturalist how to do it, so this was great.
    I've shared it in a short video presentation to the Field Naturalists' Club of Ballarat (Victoria, Australia) and have had some positive comments from previously frustrated users.
    Well done.
