Animals in the news
A key research question emerged in the beginning stages of our project: where should we place our cameras? The challenge was finding sites that could produce good results which would ultimately determine the success of the project. We did a preliminary study to identify where different wildlife have been seen and reported in Winnipeg. We turned to different news outlets to gather a collection of articles of reported wildlife sightings within the last five years to give us reliable data. The news articles and stories were then added to a map and located geographically within Winnipeg, which gave us a visualization of the pattern of wildlife sightings in the city. The interactive map below links the location of different stories about wildlife sightings in Winnipeg with their respective news articles.
