Events, Conferences, & Opportunities:

  • Through 12/1 Anywhere – Share the View: International Nature Photography Contest from Audubon Society of Greater Denver. Enter images celebrating the beauty of the natural world. Pick out your best, the beautiful, the unusual, the favorites. Any image of the natural world will do – including landscapes, flowers, wildlife, macro, aerials, behaviors, portraits, underwater, abstracts, black & white, and even urban wildlife – as long as nature is the prime feature. Audubon Society of Greater Denver
  • 11/16 Boulder – Cities, Ecosystems & Climate Change: Facing Threats, Growing Opportunities. In Boulder, as in many other communities, concerns about climate change don’t always address the impacts on our landscapes and associated ecosystems—both urban, agricultural, and wildlands. While there are many efforts focusing on different aspects of ecosystems—pollinator protection, urban forest change assessment, wildlife advocacy–much of the environmental planning and management efforts have been fragmented across groups. The focus of this day-long summit will be on developing solutions. A number of significant, local environmental initiatives will be announced at the gathering. City of Boulder

  • 11/27 Anywhere – Join Wildlands Network for a pivotal conversation about how Wildlands Network is using advocacy and science to save red wolves.There’s some good news for red wolves: A judge recently ruled against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s proposal to shrink protections for the last of the wild red wolves in North Carolina, arguing the proposal was in violation of the Endangered Species Act. The proposal was met with near unanimous opposition from the public: 99.9% of the comments submitted on the proposal favored strong federal protections for red wolves. Wildlands Network

  • 11/29 Anywhere – Best Available Predator Science and the Law webinar. Join the Wolf Conservation Center and Dr. Adrian Treves for a special webinar regarding wildlife conservation. Predator conservation in North America is split along several fault lines that make it difficult to restore many large carnivores to native habitats. One of the fault lines is the legal basis for U.S. predator preservation. Dr. Treves will summarize two views of the U.S. public trust doctrine, and juxtapose how differently proponents of those views might make decisions with a case study of Wisconsin’s gray wolves. He will also address the contentious history of the Endangered Species Act and how science and supposition about lethal management of grizzlies, wolves, coyotes, and cougars are at the core of the controversy. Wolf Conservation Center

Citizen Science:

  • Join Colorado Corridors Project as a citizen scientist!

You might also enjoy looking at the diversity of wildlife on Vail Pass. Colorado Corridors Project

Your science task: classify photos that have been marked as having grouse in them and determine how many male and how many female are present! Bonus: what are those males doing? Grouse Grooves
  • Join Journey North as a citizen scientist! Journey North provides an easy entry point to citizen science, with simple protocols, strong online support, and immediate results.

  • Participate in Neighborhood Nestwatch and monitor color-banded birds in your own backyard and report observations to the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. Participants must agree to participate for a minimum of three years, committing approximately one hour of time per week for observation and reporting.

  • In the CrowdMag project, NOAA will explore whether digital magnetometers built in modern mobile smartphones can be used as scientific instruments. With CrowdMag mobile apps, phones all around the world send magnetometer data to them. At their server, they check the quality of the magnetic data and make data available to the public as aggregate maps and charts. The two long-term goals of this project are to create models of Earth’s time changing magnetic field by combining crowdsourced magnetic data with data collected by ships, aircrafts, and satellites and to map local magnetic noise sources (for e.g. power transformer and iron pipes) to improve accuracy of the magnetic navigation systems. Become a citizen scientist and join their research on the Earth’s geomagnetic field. CrowdMag Project
  • Wildwatch Kenya seeks to count, identify, and track the giraffes in conservation field sites, along with the other animals that share the habitat, to better understand the behavior, movements, and population numbers of the wildlife found there.

The information gathered from these photos will help them and the local communities develop plans to help save the animals. Wildwatch Kenya
  • Wisconsin Wildlife Watch lets citizen scientists explore never-before-seen camera trap photos of wild animals! Working alongside a University of Wisconsin-Madison science team, citizen scientists take part in valuable ecological research and help ecologists better understand the trends, distribution, and ecosystems of deer, elk, bears, and hares. Wisconsin Wildlife Watch is an effort to monitor forest wildlife year-round across a network of trail cameras. Help identify the animals captured on camera and better understand the distribution and trends of wildlife populations. Wisconsin Wildlife Watch
