WHOOZ.org - Mapping urban wildlife populations

December 3rd, 2008 by Jeffrey Yoo Warren

“The Manhattan National Wildlife Habitat, known as Decentral Park, is a critical national resource that provides habitat for a diverse array of flora and fauna. These are now being studied by citizen park rangers, including you.

“All citizens are empowered with the rights and responsibilities of official Deputy Park Rangers, and are invited to participate in gathering information about the ecosystems which make up this beautiful park.

“WHOOZ is actively engaged in mapping animal populations in Manhattan, and anyone with a cellphone can participate in mapping. WHOOZ is particularly interested in BATS, INSECTS, PIGEONS, and PEOPLE.”
