We are Iguanasfromabove, a university research project concerned with conserving the Galapagos Marine Iguana, and we're currently looking for passionate citizen scientists to help us process our data!
Our main project goal is establishing a more accurate population census of the Galapagos Marine Iguana, to more adequately assess it's conservation risks, especially in response to more novel ecological threats like the increased severity of El Nino storms hitting the archipelago. We're currently trying to achieve this through the (already completed) use of drone imaging of the entire island chain, and the subsequent processing of said images to count the total number of marine iguanas at time of capture. And this is where you come in!
While we are planning to automate the iguana identification process in the future, we're currently still reliant on manual input to parse through our massive collection of images. Our passionate volunteers have already classified 332.248 individual images this way! However, we still have a mountain of work ahead of us, and every friendly new helping hand goes a long way to completing this phase of our project on schedule. If you're interested and would like to participate , and enjoy an areal view of Galapagos from the comfort of your own home, or just learn more about what we do, head over to our Zooniverse page here:

Here is the background: New wind turbines are being built at Cailong Ridge in Zhangye, Gansu. According to a notice from the local government, the project has gone through the required procedures for project approval, environmental impact assessment (EIA) and land use. The site does not fall within any nature reserves or ecological protection red lines, so the construction is claimed to comply with relevant regulations.
However, CFCA (Cat Alliance), a non-profit organisation that has long monitored Pallasâs cats in this area, has raised objections to this statement. Their main concerns are as follows:
Using infrared cameras, the organisation has captured footage of Pallasâs cats in this area every month. The turbines are being built right along the corridors where these animals live and forage.
Impacts on wildlife: Vehicle traffic and excavation during construction will disrupt and damage the wildlifeâs natural habitat. Once operational, the spinning turbines will generate loud noise, and glass fibre debris will be present around the site. Pallasâs cats are naturally timid, and Zhangye in Gansu hosts one of the worldâs highest population densities of this species.
Why this shocked me: Zhangye is in northwest China, where the land is barren and the ecosystem is fragile. I do not think we should pursue development at the cost of the natural environment, especially when so many wild animals live here. I believe the turbine locations could be relocated, and the inadequate EIA investigation should be reviewed. Yet many people have attacked this non-profit group, arguing that it is holding back Chinaâs development. Some even suspect the organisation of being a foreign spy agency, claiming that all distractions should be set aside to push ahead with construction and development.

With an estimated 1 million species threatened with extinction, conservationists face difficult choices about which animals and plants receive protection. The California condorâs successful recovery effort provides a helpful case study, while also highlighting that funding alone doesn't save a species. Rural communities, businesses and others affected by conservation policies also play an important role, explain USC Dornsife environmental scientists.
