As someone monitoring invasive species, I want to know about new and dangerous invasive species from neighbouring countries as well, so that I can prepare for what is coming.
Our early warning system can send warnings of interesting species from neighbouring countries as well. But we currently don't get data from them. Should we?
iNaturalist: easy to get real-time observations
GBIF: unknown difficulty, usually not real-time
This would also increase number of records on our DW, for the good and bad.
