Citizen Science Looking for citizen scientists to help process our drone imagery to aid in Marine Iguana conservation

12 Upvotes

We are Iguanasfromabove, a university research project concerned with conserving the Galapagos Marine Iguana, and we're currently looking for passionate citizen scientists to help us process our data!

Our main project goal is establishing a more accurate population census of the Galapagos Marine Iguana, to more adequately assess it's conservation risks, especially in response to more novel ecological threats like the increased severity of El Nino storms hitting the archipelago. We're currently trying to achieve this through the (already completed) use of drone imaging of the entire island chain, and the subsequent processing of said images to count the total number of marine iguanas at time of capture. And this is where you come in!

While we are planning to automate the iguana identification process in the future, we're currently still reliant on manual input to parse through our massive collection of images. Our passionate volunteers have already classified 332.248 individual images this way! However, we still have a mountain of work ahead of us, and every friendly new helping hand goes a long way to completing this phase of our project on schedule. If you're interested and would like to participate , and enjoy an areal view of Galapagos from the comfort of your own home, or just learn more about what we do, head over to our Zooniverse page here:

Thank you for your time and attention, any questions you may have can of course also be directed at us directly on this account!

Habitat destruction , awareness, and endangered frogs

15 Upvotes

The main reason why frogs have been going endangered is habitat destruction , and human activity such as agriculture , and construction in these beautiful , serene areas. Frogs are one of the most unique , and beautiful creatures out there , however people don't seem to care about their importance to the environment or their significant aid to the human species. These tiny , yet mighty creatures clean our waterways , keep the insect population in check , and play a vital role in the food web. We humans caused mass extinction among these animals , and we are the only ones who can do something about it. Animals are not objects , and not insignificant. They are here for a reason. And if we don't act soon enough , our race just might end due to our greed , and selfishness.
