Tasmanians are lucky to share their backyards with a range of native species, and one citizen science project — with 100,000 images — is proving it.
The camera isn't just for birds, although eight-year-old Adia has developed a keen fascination.
"It's really just about educating all of us really on the natives and the wildlife that live here," Mr Marshall said. Participants are a mix of big landholders and people living in more urban areas — which is just as useful, according to conservation ecologist at Tasmanian Land Conservancy Glen Bain. "If we know that quolls are using big patches of bush, we also need to know where they're not using to give it context. So it's just as interesting to me if you collect images of rabbits or starlings.""Another record we had recently was of a feral goat on someone's property. That's not even a species I had considered, so I had to add that as a possible tag on the WildTracker website," he said.
