It is a very painful and tiring job to investigate the resources of species in a region. This is especially true for small numbers of small animals. In order to investigate an endangered species in the forests of Westampton in the United Kingdom, researchers at the University of Southampton designed a mobile application called “Search.” Tourists carrying the program
