Project Noah

 A Wildlife Community

Black-tailed Jackrabbit (Lepus californicus) Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada,
United States. Ramsar site no. 347.

I have been a member of this community ever since the inception of the site back in 2010 and it is one of the main reasons I chose nature as my photo subject. It is the first citizen scientist platform that I was introduced to right after I began photographing nature as my main hobby and interest. I first began to photograph my travels on a trip to Newfoundland just using my mobile phone to document the wildlife I ran into there. Unfortunately I lost that phone in New York City just after my trip to the East coast. From there I graduated to using a camera, Olympus FE47, X43 and an HTC Desire high definition phone. It 2011 when I finally got serious about photographing nature. Later I would purchase a Panasonic camera and begin my adventures into Macro photography. Now I am all about using Canon cameras I find that they produce the best colours of my captures.  

Project Noah is an award-winning software platform designed to help people connect with the natural world and learn about wildlife. Launched out of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program in early 2010, the project began as an experiment to mobilize citizen scientists and build a digital butterfly net for the 21st century. The original Project Noah platform was founded by Yasser Ansari, Martin Ceperley, Peter Horvath, and Bruno Kruse with support from New York University and the Joan Ganz Conney Center.

Project Squirrel is the mission where I find my most success and the community loves my photos that I capture of these wonderful critters doing their thing. For the longest time my most successful spotting was a cluster of orange mushrooms I captured at Georgian Bay Islands National Park of Canada on an island on Huron Great Lake.

Yesterday I published my first story on the Project Noah website choosing to highlight my knowledge on The Ramsar Convention it was a topic that was requested of me in the past to contribute to the site blog. I chose to write this story now that they have a brand new design of their site and is now quite easy to write to. I do hope you have a chance to read my story for I am so very fond of Wetlands all across the world. You can find the story here : Ramsar Convention : Wetlands of International Importance
