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影像数据集
人们往往会理所当然地认为，我们所喜爱的澳大利亚本土动物将永远存续，但尽管它们看起来相对常见，种群数量却可能正在衰减。新南威尔士州（New South Wales）环境与遗产办公室（Office of Environment and Heritage, OEH）正在开展一项名为WildCount的项目，以期更深入地掌握这些动物随时间推移的生存状况。每年秋季，WildCount项目都会在146座新南威尔士州国家公园与保护区内布设300台运动感应相机，对当地野生动物进行影像抓拍。这些影像将被用于识别区域内的本土动物与有害动物，并追踪其保护现状随时间的变化情况。如今我们正招募志愿者协助梳理这批数量庞大的"动物自拍影像"，以便我们能以远超独自处理的效率完成影像流程。参与该项目仅需记录每张影像中观测到的动物相关信息。若想了解WildCount项目的更多详情，请访问我们的专属专题网页。本数据集的总任务量为339项，已完成转录的任务共339项，已通过校验的任务共78项。
