A year-round community science program to collect data on the behavior and activity of crocodiles and other wildlife around the Placencia Lagoon.
For those that would like to participate in our community science program, here is the info we need from you!
- Animal observed
- Time animal observed
- Location of animal observed
- What was the animal doing? (sunbathing, swimming, etc).
So what will we do with all this data? Annually, we will compile the data to look at patterns of crocodile and other wildlife activity, behavior, and “hot spots.” All this information can be utilized to help the community learn how to coexist with wildlife, hopefully furthering pride and stewardship of our wildlife neighbors. The involvement of the community in our efforts for furthering conservation is significant for the CRC as we know the success of any long-term efforts to conserve our local environment is dependent on the education and involvement of the local communities living alongside wildlife.
