Viator's 2012 World List (1 Viewer)

[viator]

Here we go again with another year list. Since I'm not expecting as much travel this year as the last couple the total may be a little down but we'll have to see what comes up.

For comparison purposes I'll update this post with the number of species seen by country.

As of Nov 13 the total for 2012 stands at 648.

For comparison purposes:
