Identifying NZ animalsPiwakawaka

To expand our knowledge about the impact that introduced mammals have in urban environments, remote cameras have been placed in multiple cities of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

They have collected over 100,000 photographs of animals and need help identifying them. Identifications will allow us to estimate the distribution and abundance of introduced mammals in cities like Wellington, Hamilton and Dunedin. Using this information action can be taken to manage urban landscapes to bring back New Zealand’s unique fauna and flora to our parks, streets and gardens.
