Three Londoners, Stephen Mowat, Alasdair Davies and Jon Fidler, are the team behind the Naturebytes project, and at the center of their plan is a Raspberry Pi-powered wildlife camera they hope will help inspire a community of digital makers monitor wildlife activity. Mowat, a Conservation Ecologist and member of the Zoological Society of London, says his focus is on using new technologies to understand the ecology and behavior of key species. Naturebytes is an open, hackable device to help wildlife fans, photography enthusiasts,digital makers, engineers, teachers and educators develop skills in computing, coding, 3D design and printing. The Naturebytes Wildlife Cam Kit is capable of capturing stealthy, high definition images of even the most elusive wildlife and uses a weatherproof, 3D printed case to protect the electronics within--and it's running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter now.
