How 14,000 People Counted Iguanas From Home

Wild! Nearly 14,000 volunteers teamed up online to help scientists count endangered Galapagos marine iguanas—all from drone pics. Turns out, spotting these camouflaged reptiles is way harder than it sounds (they blend in with volcanic rocks!). The coolest part? Regular folks’ counts were surprisingly accurate, especially with better photos. Now, researchers are mixing in AI to speed things up. If you want to help save these iconic lizards, you can still join the project! #Science #GalapagosIguanas #CitizenScience
