Animal selfies for science
It is easy to assume that our favourite Australian native animals will always be around, but despite seeming relatively common, they could be in decline. The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) is running a project called WildCount to get a better understanding of how the animals are faring over time. Every Autumn, WildCount uses 300 motion-sensitive cameras across 146 NSW National parks and reserves to take a snapshot of wildlife living in these areas. The images are used to determine what native and pest animals are present and how their conservation status might change over time. Now we are now looking for people to help us sort through this vast number of ‘animal selfies’ so we can process the images much faster than we’ve been able to alone. To get involved all you need to do is record information about what you see in each image.

用于科学研究的动物自拍数据集

人们极易想当然地认为，我们所钟爱的澳大利亚本土动物将永续存续，但尽管它们看似较为常见，种群却可能正处于衰减之中。新南威尔士州环境与遗产办公室（NSW Office of Environment and Heritage，OEH）正在推进一项名为“野生计数（WildCount）”的项目，以期更全面地掌握这些动物随时间推移的生存态势。每年秋季，“野生计数”项目都会在新南威尔士州的146座国家公园及保护区内部署300台运动感应相机，对当地野生动物拍摄影像快照。所获影像将用于识别区域内存在的本土动物与有害动物种类，并追踪其保护现状随时间产生的变化。

目前我们正面向公众招募志愿者，协助整理这批体量庞大的“动物自拍”影像，以便能够比我们独自处理时更快地完成图像工作。仅需记录每张图像中观察到的动物相关信息，即可参与本项目。如需了解“野生计数”项目的更多详情，请访问我们的专属官方网页。

本数据集总任务量为267项，其中已转录任务267项，已验证任务75项。
