> Hi there,
>
> Today we're launching a new, and hugely important Zooniverse project: Condor
> Watch. The are only around 200 California Condors living in the wild and they
> are in serious danger from lead poisoning, which they get by eating carcasses
> shot with lead bullets. Getting a better idea of how they interact and
> socialise is crucial to ongoing conservation efforts.
>
> Using camera traps, ecologists in the US have been observing them in the
> wild. However the sheer volume of images is now overwhelming. Starting today
> we need your help to look through the first set of data: 264,000 images of
> condors eating, socialising, and nesting. Ecologists need everyone's help to
> identify the individual birds from their numbered tags. Your efforts on this
> project will help preserve an endangered species - and we think that's really
> special.
