Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
The Team
Sol Milne
PhD Candidate, University of Aberdeen
Sol is interested in the use of drones for monitoring the ecological value of different land use types. He is currently working studying the effect of different land uses on Orangutan population densities and using drones to monitor the life histories of different forest types.

The SEARRP Field Team and Support Staff
SEARRP's support of our fieldwork has been vital to this project, and none of this would have been possible without their work.
Established by the Royal Society in 1985, the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership (SEARRP) facilitates world-class scientific research that addresses the major environmental issues facing the tropics: plantation development, habitat restoration, and climate change.

Zooniverse
The Zooniverse is the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research. This research is made possible by volunteers—hundreds of thousands of people around the world who come together to assist professional researchers. Our goal is to enable research that would not be possible, or practical, otherwise. Zooniverse research results in new discoveries, datasets useful to the wider research community, and many publications.
Check out the team of researchers and developers responsible for the Zooniverse at www.zooniverse.org/about/team.
