Can you help from home with a mammal camera trap survey? Simply involves going through online images, identifying and logging what's in them ........CAN YOU HELP US?We are carrying out camera trap surveys as part of the National Hedgehog Monitoring Programme. 🦔
They generate thousands of images, of many different species, which all need to be identified.
You can help us from the comfort of your own home, by going to www.mammalweb.org and signing up as a spotter.
Have a look at some of the images and tell us what you see. Our first survey is in NHMP subproject 'Kent-4'
To find out more about how to start spotting, watch this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO-sUQDZPyk
