Project Noah

For anybody that enjoys animals, or frequently takes pictures of wild animals they encounter and would like to document them, i give you [url=http://www.projectnoah.org/]Project Noah.[/url] The best and most simple way to explain what Project Noah is this: Project Noah is a tool to explore and document wildlife and a platform to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere. Although i will go into detail about what it is fully. Basically what Project Noah, is a website and app (for android and apple, [url=http://cdn.appstorm.net/iphone.appstorm.net/files/2011/02/1_project-noah.jpg]basic layout of the app here[/url] ), that lets you document organisms that you see in the wild. It can be anything from the Morel mushroom in your backyard, to a Timber rattlesnake that you take a picture of (i recently snapped a picture of one of these bad boys), or a ant on your driveway. After you take a picture(s) of the organism, you can fill out information for it. Such information includes; mammal/reptile/bird/arthropod, the organisms common and scientific name, notes about the organism, and even a wikipedia link to add so you can have instant access to information about it. But even if you don't know what an animal is, you can still snap a picture and upload it, as there is a button that is called "help me identify" and it allows others to see this organism with the name "unknown" and allows them to suggest a species for that organism (i'v had to use this several times). [b][u]Missions[/u][/b] While you are filling out the information you will see a place called "missions". Missions are groups of specific organisms that people want to group together. Like i put my Timber Rattlesnake in the missions "Dangers of the southeast" and "Snakes of the southeast". This lets people group similar organisms together. I encourage anyone that constantly takes pictures of animals to do this, as it is not only a fun way to keep track of what animals you see, but to also share them with others, and allows you to see new animals you have never seen.
