Come join the Rotary Club of Houston's Satelite Club of Innovation for an evening of virtual conservation work to make a positive impact on the future for wildlife across the globe, all you need is a smartphone! Free snacks & beverage provided.
Rotary is partnering with ZSL's Instant Wild to support the mobilization of people power to scale up important animal monitoring work, which helps scientists protect wildlife and secure a richer biodiversity for all! This is a casual volunteering event, which is also conducive to socializing with like-minded peers while serving a good cause.
What You Will Be Doing
Motion-triggered cameras provide you with live images and videos from stunning locations worldwide. Examine the images closely, identify the various species of animals, and count their numbers. Your task is to tag the animals and species in the videos or pictures, selecting from the provided list of species in the study area. Your efforts in identifying the animals in each image contribute to wildlife conservation.
