What are photopoints?
The simplest way to capture environmental data
Why photopoints?
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
To assess whether the state of native vegetation or other factors have changed over time we must first set a baseline. The simplest way to do this is using an incredible piece of technology you carry with you every day, the camera on your mobile device.
Key use cases
Photopoints are typically used for the following purposes in Covram:
- Observation of change: Recording of a feature over time such as water level, weed invasion, pest animal activity etc.
- Additional context: To support vegetation assessments at a site located nearby.
- Incidental sightings: Identification of a rare flora or fauna species.
Selecting a photopoint
The most important factor in selecting a photopoint is that the photo is repeatable.
