[OSM-talk] Scientific/Species Data in OSM Database - Collaborators

[Mikel Maron]

Hi

I'm interested in the topic, but haven't been contributing information yet.

Some immediate issues that come to mind: Most areas would have more than one species of flora, but not clear how to use the species tag in that way. Fauna ranges are often not well defined in terms of existing landuse tags, so not sure if it is "appropriate". Some cases could clearly be, such as a protected area set up for a particular endangered species.
