SUMMARY
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has launched the Florida Wildlife Watch project, a citizen science initiative encouraging the public to identify and classify animals captured by trail cameras. This project aims to assist conservationists in managing and protecting native ecosystems across six million acres of Wildlife Management Areas. Over 1,000 volunteers have already made hundreds of thousands of classifications, contributing to a better understanding of Florida's wildlife. The project is hosted on the Zooniverse platform and will continue until all images are sorted.
