One of several #EasternMudSnakes Ben’s caught during #snake inventory surveys this year. Beaver wetlands can support incredible biodiversity, and our surveys have logged over 20 herp species at this pond in addition to a wealth of birds, fish, mammals, & invertebrates.
We are testing #AI as an accurate approach to identify and count #marineiguanas from #aerialimages. Our main objective is to estimate the population size of this species in a short time and help improving conservation efforts in the Galapagos Archipelago 🦎
