CC E#02 Citizen science around the world

Conservation Crossroads

In this episode of #ConservationCrossroads we learn about Citizen Science and how it's being used around the world! We chat to some researchers from #Peru and #Australia about how they are using citizen science. We start in the Amazon Rainforest and speak to Diego Balbuena about the #monster research project he is a part of which consists of hundreds of camera traps generating thousands of images. Then we come back to Australia and speak with Jessie Cappadonna and Zoe Stone about how they are using citizen science to conserve hard to find threatened species. To learn more about the Amazon Cam Project or help with identifying animals, check out their website here -> http://bit.ly/2wKs2Wf or find them on Zooniverse here -> http://bit.ly/2wJY8kY. Diego Balbuena completed this work with the San Diego Zoo Global (http://www.sandiegozooglobal.org/) but you can find him on his personal page here -> http://bit.ly/2wKMp5I or blog here -> http://bit.ly/2wJQYNI.
