Join the Sky Island FotoFauna Project: October 2021

October 1, 2021 - October 31, 2021

hello

Explore the FotoFauna Project!

In October, join Sky Island FotoFauna — a growing network of wildlife cameras that observe the presence, absence, and seasonal movements of wildlife species throughout the binational Sky Island region.

What is FotoFauna?

FotoFauna is a volunteer project operated entirely by local communities: schools, families, agencies, and nonprofits who are passionate about the wildlife that passes through their yards. It’s easy to join! Just set up a wildlife camera somewhere on your property and then, at the end of every month, submit an online FotoFauna checklist of the species you’ve observed.

By submitting wildlife data to us, you’re helping Sky Island Alliance and its two-dozen partners study when and where wildlife is present so we all can better protect the region’s habitats and pathways.

Want to join us?

The next cycle of FotoFauna wildlife observation starts November 1, 2021!

Take the following steps in October to prepare for a successful start:

1. Watch our webinar “Getting Started with FotoFauna” to learn how the project works.

2. Read our guide on how to pick out the right wildlife camera for you.

3. Pick out a camera! Make sure you order all the necessary elements: batteries, SD card, etc.

4. Read our guide on how to set up your new backyard wildlife camera.

5. Explore the wildlife identification resources on our FotoFauna webpage.
