About eMammal
eMammal is a system for collecting, storing, and sharing camera trap data, run in conjunction by the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. The system is designed for scientists and citizen scientists, and anyone who wants to join in the fun and discovery of camera trapping. Professional and volunteer camera trappers use our software to look at pictures, identify animals, and upload them to the Smithsonian Data Repository for review and storage. These data are useful for addressing important scientific and conservation questions, and the pictures provide a unique view into the hidden world of wildlife.
Though we have our own volunteers who upload these pictures and tag them, the experts manage several volunteers for each project and often end up with many more images to look over. This is where Zooniverse comes in - with YOUR help, we can ease the burden on the experts for animal identification. After all, if 20 people agree that a sequence of images is a deer, it's probably a deer.
eMammal photos and data, depending on the project, are either immediately available after expert review, or only available after a three-year embargo. The latter occurs when the expert would like to publish their findings before revealing their data for public download. All eMammal project data is intended for public consumption.
