  • Under Options, check any options to Download images or Exclude images in the Identify tabs if they apply.
  • Click Submit.

Download data

• Under Organization export, click the Download link for your export request to download a text file containing links to download your metadata and image data bundles as a .zip file to your computer.

• Each text file contains a list of URLs to download a metadata or image data bundle (.zip) included in your export. If you requested a large amount of data, there may be multiple metadata bundle URLs and multiple image bundle URLs.

• Using Free Download Manager (see the Bulk download data using Free Download Manager section ), bulk-download the ZIP files of your data from these links. You can also copy and paste each URL into your browser to download a ZIP file of your data, though this may take longer.
• Unzip your data packages.
  • Metadata .zip files will include the following files:
    • projects.csv: metadata about project methodology and objectives
    • cameras.csv: metadata about the devices (cameras) used in the project
    • deployments.csv: metadata about the placement of a camera, including start date, end date, coordinates and other camera settings;
    • Detections: data about the animals detected by the camera traps are reported in one of two ways, depending on how the data was recorded:
      • images.csv: data about each image, including species identifications and date/time;
      • sequences.csv: data about a sequence of images, including species identifications and date/time. These are used for rapid bursts of images that typically represent one animal or animal group.
    • Wildlife Insights Data Use and Citation Guides: Guidance for how to use data downloaded from Wildlife Insights in an analysis or for any other purpose, including providing attribution to the dataset creator/creators as described by the license assigned to the dataset and instructions for downloading images.  
    • Wildlife Insights Data Dictionary: Definitions for each field in the files provided; and
    • Wildlife Insights Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
    • Images .zip files will include all image files in your export. Each file will be named with its image_id (e.g., 0010206e-b097-4a57-965b-442e1ad1b13a.jpg)
