Why is biodiversity an important insight?
...
For animals, plants, and fungi, we’ll need a way to represent cultivated and non-cultivated biodiversity. With regard to plants, this is relevant now. Additionally, by the end of the year we’ll have the ability to document livestock on your farm. That would fall under mammals but there should be a visual way to distinguish between livestock you’re raising and those you’ve observed.

Add more categories:

spiders
reptiles
mammals
Further subdivide plants into:
lichensmosses
Need to see changes over time, perhaps with a slider or line graph (# of species in each category at a certain date)
Being able to drill down into each category to see specific observations of species, including pictures (this is already passed from GBIF). This would help producers actually learn to identify biodiversity on their farm for species groups they might not be familiar with.Trends for all categories

Each observation as a card?
Other suggestions:
Comparison of users farm against the average for “similar” farms elsewhere
Integrate with eBirdLandscape diversity (numbers of habitat types, proportions of each habitat type)
Presence of natural areas, hedgerows, riparian buffers, etc.
