Update: CONTEST New Wildlife Observation Maps in CCS

^[1]

Expansion in CCS! 🌍
We've launched
3 New #eco-Lens Maps🗺🗺🗺
for Vertebrate Animals

The wildlife observer family is expanding. That's right, the eco-lens project is extending its coverage to include vertebrate animals.

Now it's the turn (for cameras, of course 📸) of:

• 🦅 birds, Tag: #bird
• 🦍 mammals, Tag: #mammal
• 🐍 amphibians, reptiles, and fish, Tags: #herpetology, #fish

Observe • Photograph • Research • Share

We couldn't leave them out of our project of WILDLIFE OBSERVATION MAPS, or PROTECTED SPECIES of your country!

Until now, we've been documenting the world of "little giants" with our Map of Insects and Other Invertebrates. But biodiversity is vast, and our Camping Club Steemit (CCS) community is rich in explorers. That's why we're pleased to announce the official launch of three new #eco-lens map projects, bringing our total to four geolocation tools dedicated to zoology.
