Tools for Monitoring Wildlife Workshop

During the workshop, you will:
Explore why wildlife monitoring matters for understanding biodiversity and change
Learn how motion-sensor cameras work
Get hands-on experience setting up cameras
Learn how to retrieve images and manage data
Discover how to share wildlife observations using citizen science tools such as iNaturalist
