To help scientists in their conservation work, new technologies have been developed. For example, Footprint identification technique (FIT) uses photo digitization to identify the footprints of large cats and other mammals, which will allow collection of data about these animals in a noninvasive manner. Other noninvasive data collection techniques include vocalization identification, drones, DNA analysis, and camera-trapping. Apps such as eBird and iNaturalist allow amateurs to record their observations in open-access online databases for further analysis. Smartphones and drones could...
