Environment Canada, The International Crane Foundation, the Calgary Zoo, and Parks Canada have teamed up to try out the feasibility of crowdsourcing of Whooping Crane monitoring in Wood Buffalo National Park.
They're looking for volunteers from the public to quickly review over 100,000 small satellite images through an online crowdsourcing platform to identify possible nest locations. Results from crowdsourcing will be reviewed by biologists at CWS and Calgary Zoo in order to identify, manage, and conserve new breeding areas not previously identified and to refine methods to monitor and manage this endangered species.
If you would like to participate in this campaign, visit the link below to review these satellite images!
