Central & South America:

Wildcam Darien* - Help scientists identify jaguars in the jungles of Panama from trail camera photos. The information obtained from your photo i.d. data will help scientists understand the animal’s response to humans and identify ways to better protect them.

Amazoncam Tambopata* is currently the largest permanent camera trap monitoring program in South America aimed at monitoring wildlife populations and movements along the Tambopata River in the Peruvian Amazon. Citizen scientists assist in the effort by identifying jaguars and other wildlife from camera trap images.

The Amazo’N’Oil* project asks citizen scientists to help analyze camera trap videos to identify jaguars and other wildlife species affected by oil spills in oil-polluted sites of the Peruvian Amazon.

Big cat nonprofit Panthera partners with Zooniverse to bring you Camera CATalogue*. Here, citizen scientists can help classify wild animals, including jaguar and puma, through camera trap image identification to help researchers learn more about big cat populations in Central America, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa.
