We are happy to share some exciting news: this year, the Open Science Conservation Fund has been honored with a 2025 WILDLABS Award for our collaborative project, Trapper Keeper. This initiative brings together an exceptional team from the BearID Project (U.S. & Canada), the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador), and the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance (U.S.)
\nWe’re especially proud that the core of the Trapper Keeper project was developed at the Mammal Research Institute PAS. Over recent years, it has continually evolved, integrating cutting-edge AI tools like TrapperAI to enhance wildlife monitoring and conservation efforts.<\/p>\n

Trapper Keeper:\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
\nWith the support of the WILDLABS Awards, we are about to launch Trapper Keeper, an open-source, AI-powered infrastructure for next-generation camera trap data management. This project will address the needs of a wide range of research and conservation actors \u2014 from small, remote labs with limited connectivity to large NGOs, research institutions, and independent conservationists.
\nBuilt upon the foundation of our existing TRAPPER 2.0 BETA, we will develop a robust, scalable system that offers both portable, pre-configured field servers and containerized deployments for in-house use. Trapper Keeper will empower users to efficiently manage, process, and share biodiversity data \u2014 even in low-resource settings \u2014 and connect local monitoring efforts with global biodiversity infrastructure.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Over the course of the project, we will:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Release a stable, open-source TRAPPER 2.0<\/strong>\u00a0platform suitable for both small and large-scale camera trap projects.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Improve usability and accessibility<\/strong>\u00a0by simplifying deployment (automated setup, Docker containers), enhancing workflows (upload, AI processing, export), and designing interfaces for both experts and citizen scientists.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Provide comprehensive support resources<\/strong>, including clear documentation and video tutorials, to broaden user adoption.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Develop and test portable servers<\/strong>, using\u00a0Raspberry Pi 5 with AI HAT+<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0NVIDIA Jetson<\/strong>, enclosed in rugged field-ready casings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Deploy scalable solutions<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0energy-efficient Arm-based Ampere servers<\/strong>\u00a0for larger projects.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Integrate AI species classifiers and video analysis tools<\/strong>, including models from\u00a0SDZWA and BearID<\/strong>, into the TRAPPER platform.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Enable seamless publishing<\/strong>\u00a0of standardized Camtrap DP datasets to\u00a0GBIF<\/strong>\u00a0via the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Conduct real-world usability testing<\/strong>\u00a0with diverse partners, including\u00a0USFQ (Ecuador)<\/strong>,\u00a0Nanwakolas First Nations (Canada)<\/strong>,\u00a0Open Science\u00a0Conservation Fund & Mammals Research Institute PAS (Poland)<\/b>, and\u00a0Guaquira Reserve (Venezuela)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
