The are only around 200 California Condors living in the wild and they are in serious danger from lead poisoning, which they get by eating carcasses shot with lead bullets. Getting a better idea of how they interact and socialise is crucial to ongoing conservation efforts. > > Using camera traps, ecologists in the US have been observing them in the wild. However the sheer volume of images is now overwhelming. Starting today we need your help to look through the first set of data: 264,000 images of condors eating, socialising, and nesting. Ecologists need everyone’s help to identify the individual birds from their numbered tags. Your efforts on this project will help preserve an endangered species – and we think that’s really special. > > Get involved right now at www.condorwatch.org > > Facebook | Twitter | G+ | Blog > > Thank you, > > Grant & the Zooniverse Team > > > > > > UNSUBSCRIBE INSTRUCTIONS: You are receiving this email because you have taken part in a Zooniverse Project.
