Snapshot Safari Educational Materials
收藏资源简介：
Snapshot Safari (www.snapshotsafari.org) is a cross-continental network of biodiversity monitoring programs run by the University of Minnesota Lion Center (www.lioncenter.umn.edu/snapshot-safari). To address the urgent need for accurately assessing vulnerable wildlife populations, we deployed over two dozen camera trap surveys distributed in protected areas across Africa. We rely on the help of online volunteers ("citizen scientists") to help classify animals captured in our millions of camera trap images. The citizen science platform provides a novel opportunity for public engagement and science education, and we have created educational multimedia based on the Snapshot Safari citizen science experience to promote these learning opportunities. Here, we present activities and videos aimed at a middle school-level audience that use our camera trap images to teach ecological and conservation principles.
快照漫游（Snapshot Safari，官网：www.snapshotsafari.org）是由明尼苏达大学狮子研究中心（University of Minnesota Lion Center，官网：www.lioncenter.umn.edu/snapshot-safari）运营的跨大陆生物多样性监测项目网络。为满足精准评估易危野生动物种群的迫切需求，我们在非洲各地的保护区部署了二十余套红外触发相机（camera trap）监测方案。我们借助在线志愿者——公民科学家（citizen scientist）——的协助，对百万余张红外触发相机捕获的野生动物影像开展物种分类标注工作。该公民科学平台为公众参与科研与科学教育提供了全新契机，我们还基于快照漫游项目的公民科学实践开发了教育多媒体内容，以推广此类学习资源。本文呈现了面向初中阶段受众的教学活动与视频素材，这些内容依托我们的红外触发相机影像，用于讲授生态学与保护学相关原理。
