Citizen Science Looking for citizen scientists to help process our drone imagery to aid in Marine Iguana conservation
We are Iguanasfromabove, a university research project concerned with conserving the Galapagos Marine Iguana, and we're currently looking for passionate citizen scientists to help us process our data!
Our main project goal is establishing a more accurate population census of the Galapagos Marine Iguana, to more adequately assess it's conservation risks, especially in response to more novel ecological threats like the increased severity of El Nino storms hitting the archipelago. We're currently trying to achieve this through the (already completed) use of drone imaging of the entire island chain, and the subsequent processing of said images to count the total number of marine iguanas at time of capture. And this is where you come in!
While we are planning to automate the iguana identification process in the future, we're currently still reliant on manual input to parse through our massive collection of images. Our passionate volunteers have already classified 332.248 individual images this way! However, we still have a mountain of work ahead of us, and every friendly new helping hand goes a long way to completing this phase of our project on schedule. If you're interested and would like to participate , and enjoy an areal view of Galapagos from the comfort of your own home, or just learn more about what we do, head over to our Zooniverse page here:

Thank you for your time and attention, any questions you may have can of course also be directed at us directly on this account!

âThe future is brightâ: breeding programme brings worldâs heaviest insect back from the brink | New Zealand
"It is the largest of 70 wÄtÄ species and was once found across parts of the North Island before predation from introduced species and habitat loss contributed to their decline. By the 1990s, they were considered âendangeredâ and are now presumed extinct in the wild on New Zealandâs mainland. The insects reside primarily on a smattering of predator-free islands in Aucklandâs Hauraki Gulf and off the coast of Northland.
But their fortune is starting to change. Over the past 15 years, tens of thousands of wÄtÄpunga have been bred at Butterfly Creek, a wildlife facility, and Auckland zoo, enabling the release of wÄtÄpunga across new predator-free islands and some mainland reserves north of Auckland"

Article Why olive ridley turtles return to the same beach for egg laying where once they were born?
The M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) has developed an app, which is a "Fisher Friend Mobile Application" . That has won the Tech4Nature Award at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, for its role in protecting endangered Olive Ridley turtles while supporting the communities that live off the sea.
One of the appâs most impactful features is the No-Fishing Zone Alert system, which uses geolocation technology to notify fishers in real time when they approach notified nesting sites. These zones are critical for the turtles, which migrate in millions each year to nest on the Odisha coast. Seasonal fishing bans between November and May are meant to protect them, but the lack of visible boundaries has led to countless accidental violations.
