Citizen Science – Effective Strategies and Stakeholder Involvement ROAD WATCH IN THE PASS: WEB-BASED CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IN WILDLIFE DATA COLLECTION

The successful development of wildlife-transportation mitigation strategies requires access to timely and accurate information on the spatial and temporal movement patterns of wildlife. Unfortunately, conventional long term monitoring programs can be expensive and time consuming. In addition, expert-based approaches often marginalize local participation and knowledge. Alternative approaches to ...

A generalized approach for producing, quantifying, and validating citizen science data from wildlife images

Citizen science has the potential to expand the scope and scale of research in ecology and conservation, but many professional researchers remain skeptical of data produced by nonexperts. We devised an approach for producing accurate, reliable data from untrained, nonexpert volunteers. On the citizen science website www.snapshotserengeti.org, more than 28,000 volunteers classified 1.51 million ...

Citizen OBservatory WEB (COBWEB): A Generic Infrastructure Platform to Facilitate the Collection of Citizen Science data for Environmental Monitoring

The mass uptake of internet connected, GPS enabled mobile devices has resulted in a surge of citizens active in making a huge variety of environmental observations. The use and reuse potential of these data is significant but currently compromised by a lack of interoperability. Useable standards either don’t exist, are neglected, This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non ...
