Abstract:
The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, along with the Wildlife Resources Commission and NC State University, have developed a new animal tracking program called Candid Critters. The objective is for citizens to place camera traps on approved public lands in order to capture photographs of the flora and fauna. This will help track animal behavior, migration, and more. By March 2017, they plan to have the program in all 100 counties.
