Flora and Fauna it very comprehensive for a single user and usually better used by school classroom groups. Our Ranger team will discuss it. Flora alone, or one of the other categories under Fauna would be acceptable. Birds of Extremadura would have lots of scope for you as there are several hundred species.
Orchids of Iberia is already taken but other plant groups are still available.

I can do a misión of flora y fauna of extremadura??? Or one of the planta of spain???

Hi Jorge, your mission was closed because you did not respond to the original request to change it within a reasonable time and other users were adding spottings to yours instead of the existing ones.
You may create another mission but it must comply with the rules and not take spottings away from other missions. Choosing a large area and all organisms will almost certainly result in it being stopped again. You should either select a small group of organisms if you want to cover a large area, or choose a very small area, such as a city park, if you want to cover all organisms. Remember you are only permitted to have a local mission and by keeping it local you are less likely to conflict with anyone else. Its best to pick a local park where you go every day and start with a single category to see how it goes. If you have friend who join you, get them to join Project Noah also and share the organisms. One of you would do birds, one butterflies, one animals, one flowers, etc. but all for the same park or area.

No es por nada pero fastidia que yo sea un niño con una ilusión y tu vengas y me la quites ;(

okay thanks 'im a child and do not quite understand these things, but now that you've taken my mission what i do?

Hi Jorge, wile we are happy for our users to create mission we do ask that they think carefully and keep it local and easy to run. A mission such as yours is all-encompassing as you have included virtually every living creature and plant in a large area, and in addition it would clash with already existing missions, such as Biodiversity of Portugal and Biodiversity of Spain which together mean effectively the same thing so under our rules it would not be permitted.
Firstly, users may only add a spotting to 5 missions so having more than one would mean they could not select them all. In the case of mine they mostly already have 5 missions so no more can be added so I would not be able to join.
Secondly, a mission of that size and scope would require a huge amount of time and effort to run properly, and that is one reason why we do not allow individual users to run global or high profile missions, which are best run by large institutions.
I would suggest reducing the boundaries of your mission and/or reducing the scope to a single category or less. As an example, a small area like a city park you could look at all the Flora & Fauna while an area the size you chose you could just look at all the Trees, or all the Reptiles. It has to be something that has not already been covered in the area you choose.
Hola Jorge, wile estamos felices por nuestros usuarios crear misión le pedimos que piensen cuidadosamente y mantenemos local y fácil de ejecutar. Una misión como la de ustedes que todo lo abarca como usted ha incluido prácticamente todo ser viviente y planta en un área grande, y además entraría en conflicto con las misiones ya existentes, como la biodiversidad de Portugal y de la Biodiversidad de España que en conjunto significan efectivamente el mismo cosa tan bajo nuestras reglas no se permitiría.
En primer lugar, los usuarios sólo pueden añadir algunas gotas de sangre a 5 misiones así que tener más de lo que uno quiere decir que no podían seleccionarlos todos. En el caso de la mina que en su mayoría ya tienen 5 misiones por lo que no se pueden añadir más, así que no sería capaz de unirse.
En segundo lugar, una misión de ese tamaño y alcance requeriría una enorme cantidad de tiempo y esfuerzo para funcionar correctamente, y esa es una razón por la que no permite que usuarios individuales para ejecutar misiones globales o de alto perfil, que están mejor dirigidos por grandes instituciones.
Me permito sugerir la reducción de los límites de su misión y / o reducir el alcance a una sola categoría o menos. A modo de ejemplo, un área pequeña como un parque de la ciudad se podía ver toda la Flora y Fauna, mientras que un área del tamaño que eligió usted podría mirar a todos los árboles, o todos los Reptiles. Tiene que ser algo que no se haya cubierto en el área que usted elija.
