Wildlife Spotter...Citizen Scientists wanted

National Science Week offering a chance for everyone to help build the body of knowledge which will support many future research projects.
Wildlife Spotter is calling for animal lovers, aspiring scientists, concerned citizens and anyone with some spare time to view some of the millions of photos collected from automatic cameras in many of Australia's wilderness areas.

The purpose is to see if there is an animal in the photo and if there is, identify it. Scientists have been doing the work, but it will take them years to do it all and recheck the results. Meanwhile some of Australia's animals could be threatened and the data to prove it, is not in a usable form.

Join in on this citizen science project and help scientists organise vital research which will inform the community's knowledge of its wildlife.
