Related species exploitation #58

Closed reupost closed 7 years ago

reupost commented 7 years ago

The link to a related exploited species ('Exploitation' tab, 'Uncertain' option) is maybe more trouble than it is worth at this point. The agreement at the workshop was to remove the 'Closely related species' entry: taxon experts can rather simply indicate related species (if applicable) in the justification text.

The issues were that (a) you need to order your assessments to deal with the related species first, (b) they could be non-SA species, in which case the scope of the website gets a bit messy, (c) if the related species is actually non-sensitive then your current species also drops out as non-sensitive - and in some instances the related species might be non-sensitive (e.g. widespread) but the current species might be a 'weak link' if it were exploited, and (d) any chaining (e.g. an update on one species affects the status of related species) would get complicated, though I don't think the site works like this at present.

Good lord. I wish they'd decided this before they asked me to add that related species in! Ok I'll remove it. When do we need all this stuff done by by the way? I'm up to my ears in work :(

Reuben to check to see if the "Yes this species is sensitive because it's got a sensitive related species" text is still valid

Details of the field I'm about to delete from the database in case they change their mind and want it back again: machine name: field_similar_species label: Closely related species help text: Can't find the name you are looking for? Please add the species to the database and perform an assessment separately before continuing with this assessment. field type: node reference content
