Count a penguin, map a squirrel or tag a tree

A useful skill for all conservationists is observation. Whatever you are interested in or need help with or even if you just want a break from what you are doing there are many citizen science projects you can support and here are a few of them.

I often look to keep upto date with volunteer and citizen science projects and support field conservation research  online that anyone can get involved in and I found Zooniverse (https://www.zooniverse.org/about). If you have five minutes check it out and help ground truth conservation research imagery data. Yes I'm sure AI could do it quicker but wheres the fun in that?
