3rd Wildlife Viewing & Nature Tourism Academy

The focus of this talk will be to discuss and elucidate the various elements involved in planning, installing and maintaining a streaming wildlife cam. Costs, service providers and peripheral items to consider will be addressed. Managing the wildlife cams for the Arizona Game & Fish Department has given me some insight into the aforementioned processes with cams, including their successful use as an outreach and cost-recovery tool. We will also cover which social media campaigns have proved most effective in increasing out digital engagement numbers and donations, as well as provide a few things to potentially avoid when pushing your new cams.
