04 Observation source

Public data mode Demo only — fictional records while testing Public sightings from one iNaturalist user Public observations across the region

Public iNaturalist username (required for user mode) Featured observer (optional)

The atlas imports only licensed public observations, and never requests private locations or logins.

05 Observation and photo reuse

Observation data policyPhoto reuse policy

Observation data and photos have independent licenses. Both policies default to CC0 and CC BY. NonCommercial options require a separate review of your project and its intended uses; choosing them does not grant permission for commercial or promotional reuse.

From configuration to a forest atlas

Download the configuration generated here.
Fork or clone the FungaAtlas repository.
Replace the original atlas.config.json file.
Deploy as a static Netlify site; run public iNaturalist sync only when ready.

What's automatic?

Only configuration generation. This page does not create a GitHub repository, publish to Netlify, or upload iNaturalist observations.

Privacy by default

Map coordinates are generalized; sensitive observations are not plotted. The private field notebook stays in each browser until its owner exports it.
