iNaturalist App Helps Document Roadkill for Scientists and Traffic Engineers

Roadkill survey app, iNaturalist, was developed by non-profit group Adventures in Science in conjunction with the University of California at Davis to document roadkill observations for researchers and transportation designers. The app is mainly a photo and mapping app that allows you to share geo-tagged photos of your wildlife observation – don’t worry if you can’t identify any species, even a photo with a simple description helps. The app is targeted towards avid road cyclists, but anyone can log entries in the app or on-line.

With volunteer contributions, the project enables scientists to determine what species are affected by human behaviors and at what time of year.
