Wildspotters: spot wildlife

Identify and spot animals on real wildlife-camera footage — with Wildspotters you help nature research at wildlife crossings across the Netherlands.

Across the country there are wildlife crossings: tunnels, bridges and passages that help animals safely cross roads, railways and water. Camera traps capture who uses them — but all that footage still needs to be identified. That's where you come in.

With Wildspotters you watch short camera clips and help determine which animal passes by. Is it a badger, a roe deer, a fox or perhaps a pine marten? Every species you recognise contributes directly to real nature research.

What you can do:
- Watch short video clips of wild animals at wildlife crossings
- Identify the species and record your answer
- Learn to recognise more and more animals and species
- Discover which animals are being spotted across the country
- Track your own contribution and grow as a spotter

Why spot wildlife with Wildspotters?
Researchers and nature organisations want to know which animals use wildlife crossings and how well they work. By identifying thousands of wildlife-camera images together, valuable data emerges that helps protect nature. This is citizen science at its best: your help makes the difference.

Who is it for?
For anyone who loves nature — from curious beginner to experienced nature enthusiast. No prior knowledge needed; you learn to identify animals as you spot.
