Roadkill Reporter is an app that crowdsources eyes on the road to facilitate the location and collection of biological material (e.g. parasites, bones, tissue, etc...) from road-killed animals.
Project coordinators can create projects projects and specify the animals they are interested in locating. Participants use the GPS in their phones or tablets to record the location of these road-killed animals. This allows project coordinators to find the animals for retrieval and analysis.
Things to consider:
• Your participation is anonymous
• Please do NOT use this app while driving
• Please do NOT touch the roadkill unless you are licensed to do so in your state
Thank you for participating!
