Marine Iguanas need your help! Help us count Galapagos Marine Iguanas from aerial photographs so we can save these awesome animals from extinction!
Marine iguanas are threatened by invasive species, pollution, and climate change. We are collecting the first good comprehensive population size estimates for this endangered species. To do this, we use drones to collect images of the Galapagos coastlines. From these images, we will count the iguanas to estimate their number in different locations. From these estimates, we can make a solid plan to protect them. And by helping us count them, you are directly contributing to saving this awesome species!
