Wildlife + Livestock support

We know from the Water Intelligence challenge that in a drought, water availability is critical.

With wildlife and waterways critically impacted, locals and wildlife support volunteers are turning to innovative DIY hacks to provide temporary watering and feeding stations for badly affected areas until habitat recovers and the rains return.

How can we help those locals and volunteers scale their efforts and impact? Can we do it in a way that also supports some citizen science and tracking wildlife presence at those stations to inform our understanding of flora + fauna recovery?

Yo @CVAustralia - with species impact tracking vital in first few days + weeks after fire, what tools could support other volunteer groups like @blazeaid @TeamRubiconAus in #CitizenScience ? @NatureMapr #AusFireHack

We have a bunch of these wildlife water fountains in Victoria free to be used in bushfire affected areas. If anyone is traveling north to Coffs Harbour from Melbourne on Thursday 16/01 and can pick up a few to deliver, DM me please. pic.twitter.com/re3dNGqHc8

The #frogs have been silent throughout much of Australia recently, with drought and fires. In places where it had rained, now is the time to record calling frogs with the free @FrogIDAus app so that we can understand how they are coping. It's never been more important! #WildOz https://t.co/FRN9A7uHCy
