Catalogue de photo-identification

Mieux connaître les animaux que nous observons nous aide non seulement à les protéger, mais aussi à mieux comprendre l’environnement qu’ils partagent avec d’autres espèces — y compris nous-mêmes, Homo sapiens, qui faisons tout autant partie de cet écosystème.

Cette philosophie, associée aux demandes de collaboration de plus en plus nombreuses dans la recherche par photo-identification, a inspiré la création de notre banque de données photographiques.

L’objectif n’est pas de créer un nouveau catalogue, mais d’offrir un outil ouvert et collaboratif, accessible à tous — visiteurs curieux, observateurs de baleines, étudiants et chercheurs — où les images peuvent être téléversées, partagées et croisées avec les catalogues d’identification existants.

La référence principale de ce travail reste le catalogue pionnier créé en 1987 aux Açores par l’IFAW, le Dr Jonathan Gordon et la Dr Lisa Steiner, dont les contributions continuent de guider la photo-identification dans tout l’Atlantique.
