imagery that has been captured using remote sensing cameras. Through
the presentation and interpretation of this imagery, the M.A.P. endeavors
to expand the public's capacity to empathize with animals and plants.
The M.A.P. is curated and coded by video naturalist Sam Easterson.
Most remotely sensed videos and photos that are presented on this URL
are embedded within the website by using codes that are readily supplied
by Flickr and YouTube. The rest of the images that appear here come
directly from wildlife filmmakers, researchers or stock agencies. Most of the
imagery that is featured on the M.A.P. website is NOT in the public domain.
The M.A.P. creates geotags for videos and photos by referencing the
original geotags or location information that accompanies the content on other
websites. If there is no geotag or location information to reference, videos
and photos are located in an area that falls within the known geographical
range of the animal that is featured in the video or photo. All of the M.A.P.'s
geotags are approximated and do not necessarily represent locations of
animals in real-time. The M.A.P. welcomes any information that helps improve
the accuracy of geotags.
The M.A.P. is a non-commercial new media project. All offers of donation are
politely declined. The M.A.P. has been created for educational purposes only.
