Zooniverse

MV, Clovis North, D05N

For this week's Zooniverse event, I participated in online research projects. The platform allows users to read about a variety of different research projects that are currently being conducted and participate in them by helping scientists sort through data. My favorite project was called Wildlife of Los Angeles, where I identified different animals such as deer, bobcats, and rabbits in areas surrounding the city using footage from stationary cameras. This project helps scientists understand urban wildlife and the threats they face. I hope my contributions helped these animals!
