Hi Rajas, it is not a problem with Noah, it is a problem with Chrome, which you presumably are using. It can be removed from Firefox if you have that, and should also work with Safari or IE8.
there is a problem in noah...
I can not remove it..
i have tried several times...
Rajas, this spotting should not be in the USA BioBlitz mission or the Trees mission, please remove it, and all your other spottings which are in incorrect missions. You may only add spottings to missions if they are within the defined parameters of those missions.
Maria dB: Yes, it is only found on particular mountain range of Maharashtra, India.
Leuba: Here in India if you want to secure this plant, then you have to just keep quiet, don't tell anyone and must not share with the government :D :D
Wonderful series! It seems to be the first on Noah of this endangered species. Well done!
Beautiful ! I hope something's being done to secure the future for this beauty..thanks for sharing this, Rajas D.
