About Snapshot Karoo
Hundreds of camera traps spread across South Africa are providing a powerful new window into the dynamics of Africa's most elusive wildlife species. We need your help to classify all the different animals caught in millions of camera trap images. These camera images come from Karoo National Park located in the Nama Karoo biome in the Western Cape, which is defined by its endemic vegetation and beautiful mountain landscapes ideal for hiking and biking. This semi-desert region once formed an almost impenetrable barrier to the north of Cape Town, but is now managed as a national park by the South African National Parks (SANParks).
Classified data and bulk image downloads for Season 1 of Snapshot Karoo are available through the Labeled Image Library of Alexandria (LILA). Additional ecological metadata available upon request by emailing Sarah Huebner of the University of Minnesota Lion Center at huebn090@umn.edu with details about your research questions.
