| I feel the article would benefit from pictures of wild wombat droppings in their natural state. Fortunately, we have a few on the Vombatus ursinus page [1]. (I work at GBIF.) > Wombats are in trouble. It's not direct help as such, but better data can show if the real help is really helping. The nicest poo picture is [2], which is from the iNaturalist project[3], where non-biologists can submit observations of wildlife. Other wombat observations are from Questagame [4], an Australian app which gamifies observing wildlife. The data can then be used by biologists to inform their analysis. For example, here [5] are all 69,776 records of wombats we have in TSV format.
