  Hi all,

  Just wanted to share a post from the CEO at the lincoln park zoo regarding a really exciting new component of our urban wildlife research.

  "...Now, I’m proud to say, our scientists are moving beyond Chicago to explore urban wildlife in new areas with new partners. Urban Wildlife Institute Director Seth Magle, Ph.D., has teamed up with scientists at Butler University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison to install camera-trap networks in Indianapolis and Madison...."

  That's great. Such teamwork can only be beneficial. Congratulations!

  Will the new cities also use citizen volunteers to classify the pics?

  It will be for the partners to decide, but yes, we hope that there will be a citizen volunteer component to some of these cities as well!
