What?
Join Percent Pledge in virtual volunteering for Zooniverse, where a trainer will provide an overview of the organization and teach volunteers how to count, identify, and track wildlife in conservation field sites. Then volunteers will analyze photos taken by trail cameras placed in strategic spots throughout the sites. The information gathered from these photos will help the project leaders and the local communities develop plans to help save these magnificent animals!
Why?
This work helps scientists on the ground better understand the behavior, movements, and population numbers of the wildlife in the area, and how they interact with human populations.
Zooniverse is the world's leading platform for collaborative research powered by people, uniting over a million global volunteers with professional researchers. Zooniverse supports diverse research categories spanning Art, Biology, Space, and beyond. The overall goal is to enable research that would otherwise not be possible.
