Uganda's homegardens

I am attempting to load some of the images from my fieldwork in the homegardens of Uganda. The process is very slow and messy and I appreciate all the feedback and corrections from the iNaturalist community. There are several terabytes of data and most of it has associated files of species names and ethnobotany data such as medicinal uses etc. However, I seem to make the system crash just by dropping collections of files on the upload page and cannot work out how to associate data to image files. Looks like this is going to be rather manual process.

I am hopeful that there is still a lot to learn from these observations and data. My co-authors and I have already explored it for updating models and making policy advice. Some of the main conclusions are outlined in these papers and thesis work:
