A big part of my job is working with teachers to integrate my camera trap research into their classrooms. Students from around the world learn science during their school day by doing real science through our eMammal program. Since 2014, students across Kenya have been setting camera traps near their schools. Here are my favorites: 17 amazing camera trap photos from Kenya all taken by kids!
