Wildlife Surveys' Just Got a Whole Lot Easier

Wildlife Sightings (www.junponline.com) is proud to announce new wildlife survey data management services for conservation organizations and individuals. No more technical barriers to managing and publishing your wildlife survey data.

    HALIFAX, NS, February 02, 2012 /Nonprofit PR News/ -- Managing wildlife survey data just got a lot easier for conservation organizations and nature enthusiasts.

Wildlife Sightings (www.junponline.com) now provides free wildlife survey data management services. Users can easily publish wildlife sightings into a citizen science database which is organized for public access. Data is also published in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (gbif.org) network.

Typically, conservation organizations "operate local surveys to raise awareness and document biodiversity", states Wildlife Sightings owner Paul Lindgreen.

"While well intentioned, these surveys typically are not maintained and well published due to the cumbersome and costly technical aspects involved. Eventually this valuable data is forgotten and not published in the scientific community despite its great value. Some non-profits don't even get to start a survey as it can be a daunting task, that's where Wildlife Sightings comes in", says Paul Lindgreen

Conservation groups can now easily manage multiple group members under one central administrator account at Wildlife Sightings. Group administrator accounts can add members, edit and approve their wildlife survey submissions under one account which additionally promotes their organization.

"Many individual nature enthusiasts also maintain their own private nature diaries, especially bird watchers. Sharing and publishing their nature sightings in our citizen science database creates valuable biodiversity data when combined with other users. It's also a lot easier to manage, update and share online at our website", Paul states.

"Wildlife Sightings takes care of the technical, time consuming and costly aspects of biodiversity survey management, so individuals and nature organizations can focus on what they are best at and enjoy doing most.", says Paul Lindgreen.

Nature groups and individuals can register for free and access all the services mentioned above at http://www.junponline.com .

Wildlife Sightings (http://www.junponline.com) is a citizen science project open to the public. Users are encouraged to report wildlife sightings for enjoyment, education and conservation purposes. Organizations can use free biodiversity survey management services to organize, maintain and publish their data, engaging members and promoting their organization online.
