Appalachian Trail, Virginia, USA, 2007-2009 - Citizen-science based wildlife monitoring project using the Appalachian Trail as a MEGA-transect. Data was used to assess anthropogenic and landscape effects on mammal occupancy in the AT corridor.
Adirondacks, New York USA, 2000-2002 - The objective of this project was to survey the carnivores of Northern New York and establish the effects of land use change on their distribution, habitat requirements, and interactions. In addition to camera traps, track plates and scat surveys were used to detect carnivores.
Amazon Rainforest, Peru, 2008 - This camera survey had two objectives: 1) To inventory medium to large-sized mammal species in a previously unstudied region of the Peruvian Amazon, and 2) To investigate the impact of oil exploration on carnivore movement and activity, with a particular focus on the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis)
Camera traps run at the finca Altas de Veronica. This is a xxha farm with xx head of cattle. Much of the farm has recently been planted in oil palms. We set 5 cameras in fields and 5 in remnant gallery forest along rivers.

Test of summary
The Wildlife in Your Watershed project uses custom software, cloud computing workflows, wildlife cameras, and teacher-developed curriculum to offer a STEM program that 1) builds significant technology skills, 2) connects students to nature, and 3) injects discovery into science education. Wildlife in Your Watershed is linked to eMammal, a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded citizen science project where volunteers place cameras in natural areas throughout the mid-Atlantic.
This is the project blueprint.
