Clément has just updated the libraries used to run Grottocenter. He also took the opportunity to reactivate the IGN map and converter, and added a map search tool. All these services are also accessible from the entry and organization creation and editing forms. Thanks, Clément!

Clément has just released new services related to organizations. You can now indicate that you belong to an organization and show the caves explored by the organizations you are a member of. It is also possible to discover the collections published by each organization. Explore these new services and tell us what you think.

Jean-Loup Guyot provided the GSBM documents, but above all, he did a tremendous amount of work to ensure that Grottocenter provides a complete inventory of the caves of Bolivia and Peru. For Bolivia this only represents 56 Caves https://grottocenter.org/ui/countries/BO However, the GSBM has conducted numerous explorations in Peru, and it is now possible to discover the results on Grottocenter, where 922 caves have been recorded https://grottocenter.org/ui/countries/PE This is based on information archived on https://cuevasdelperu.org/ by the GSBM, the Vulcans, the Dolomites, and the ECA Lima. Thank you again, Jean-Loup, for sharing this and for the time you devoted to it.

Clément Ronzon has just made a significant development in response to a request made during discussions with the NSS (National Speleological Society of America). But everyone can benefit from it, and I invite you to discover it. There is now a page for every region of the world. In the United States, this corresponds to the states. If you are a member of the Wikicaves association or a partner organization, you can receive notifications when changes are made to the countries, regions, and mountain ranges you have selected.

The Southern Society of Speleology and Prehistory has granted us permission to archive its bulletins, as well as those published by organizations that have merged with it. Thank you for sharing.
