So often the world in our daily life just spins in a endless cycle of daily chores and school, our jobs and family, and taking care of the things at home. Wouldn't it be nice to take a break and use our eyes and our cameras, to document the wildlife in our own backyards.
Wildlife, comes in many forms. It is not just deer or squirrals, it includes birds and insects. And the documenting would help scientists keep track of migratory patterns and species in your area. Best of all they have special missions to do in certain topic's, so there is always room for your pictures and discoveries. What a great way to show children the wonders of wildlife, by doing a service that means something.
This project is located at: Project Noah
When you sign in you are directed to your own profile, so they know the area of the country, or countries that you live in. You are given a place to upload your pictures and to learn about any unusual creatures you or someone else has discovered. It is a great learning experience for the whole family.
Some of the missions available include: Butterflies and Moths, Mission Wild, Global Urban Biodiversity, and Galapagos Biodiversity.
It provides a fun way to explore and document wildlife and to learn about spottings of other people, and gives you the choice of earning patches through your contributing of pictures.
