Regional Atlas - looking for data

[Alexandre Roux]

Hi everybody !

The Groupe Herpétologique Rhône-Alpes is preparing a regional Atlas.
The data from the Big Bang to june 2014 will be used !
We're looking for any data in the region, even if the date is approximative !
If you have some data, please contact me by PM or contact this adress: ghra.contact@gmail.com

Thanks a lot !!!

Maybe this helps for the not-French people


Not a lot and probably nothing that's not known already, but I'll send you what I have.

Question - is there a national atlas project in France?

[Alexandre Roux]

Thanks Jeroen,

The national Atlas have been released in the beggining of the year.
Data collect stopped in 2006.

Here is the link about the book:

I have it, there are many problems with data, many error, but that's a globally good representation of France.

I'm sorry to bring this message back, I think it's important for us to have many data for this Atlas.
Thanks a lot.

Do you need only locations + dates of observation, or are you also looking for pictures?

[Alexandre Roux]

I think everything could be nice.

[Bart Smit]

have you tried to obtain data from initiatives like iNaturalist.org ? they have a nice 'geo search'.

[Alexandre Roux]

No, I didn't tried, very nice idea thank you !

You're welcome I noticed that some regions have a lot of wildlife observations, perhaps it provides the right information for your region. I used it a lot for planning some of my (scuba diving) holidays.
