Chimp&See August 2025 Newsletter
Hi Chimp&See-ers
In the last month we had some great accomplishments!
We finished the Prismatic Expanse site in record time! 79 days to classify 49,361 video clips!
We were then able to open a new site: Eternal Victory! We are now in Sierra Leone in the Ouatmaba Kilimi National Park. We are 15% of the way through the site and we have already found some new-to-us bird species, a big common hippo:
and…a lion! WAYYYYY outside its known range!
Come and join us at Eternal Victory and identify wildlife species from West Africa!
Also, a special request: I (Mimi) will be giving a talk in September at the Max Planck Society Open Science Symposium and really want to show off from where all of our citizens come! If you haven’t done so yet, please add your pin to our padlet map so we know where you are helping us from!
To add your pin, follow these instructions:
Log into padlet (without logging in you won't be able to edit your pin later) : https://padlet.com/arandjel/chimp-see-map-remrx1p29h0w49ly
On the left side under Community Scientists - click the + sign
On the bottom right a window will pop up
You can put in your location, or choose “skip for now” (you will have a chance to change this in the next step, so don’t worry!)
Then fill in your information as follows 🙂
You can edit anything in your entry by clicking on your pin, then clicking on those 3 dots in the top right corner of your post and selecting “edit”. For example, you can move the pin location to where you feel is best and if it's to a place without an address (like a forest) you will get the pin's new geographic coordinates (in numbers).
You can also use the map to explore where our field sites have been and see where our international team of collaborators are located!
Thanks so much and see you at ChimpandSee.org!
Cheers,
Mimi & The Chimp&See team!
