WCWW missing species and countries

but here is a list of species that we have never had reported during the event.

Here is a map of the participating countries last year in Red.

Those in green were previously represented but not in 2023.

If your country is in white on the map, then it has never been represented on WCWW.

Perhaps, if your country is green or white, this year you would like to get your country, literally, on the WCWW map?
