Conservation Through Citizen Science
Dr. Michael Foster
Wildlife Expert
Every wildlife observation you make contributes to a global understanding of biodiversity. Citizen scientists play a crucial role in conservation efforts, and wildlife tracking through scat identification is one of the most valuable contributions you can make.
The Power of Crowdsourced Data
Professional researchers can't be everywhere, but citizen scientists can:
- Cover vast geographical areas
- Provide long-term monitoring
- Document rare or elusive species
- Track population changes over time
- Identify new habitat usage patterns
Real Conservation Impact
Citizen science data has led to significant conservation outcomes:
Wildlife Corridors
Scat data helped identify critical movement paths, leading to the creation of wildlife crossings and protected corridors.
Population Recovery
Tracking data confirmed the return of wolves to areas where they were thought extinct, influencing protection policies.
Disease Monitoring
Early detection of unusual scat helped identify disease outbreaks in wildlife populations.
How Your Data Helps
When you use our app to identify scat, you contribute to:
- Distribution maps: Understanding where species live and travel
- Population estimates: Calculating animal numbers without direct observation
- Health monitoring: Detecting changes in wildlife health through scat analysis
- Habitat assessment: Identifying critical areas for protection
- Climate change research: Tracking how species adapt to changing environments
Best Practices for Citizen Scientists
Maximize your contribution with these guidelines:
- Record exact GPS locations
- Note date, time, and weather conditions
- Photograph scat from multiple angles
- Include habitat photos
- Submit even uncertain identifications
- Return to sites for monitoring
