 Next semester, there is no official Snapshot USA survey, allowing for a more flexible subteam project involving the wildlife cameras. Rules such as the maximum and minimum camera placement distances can be adjusted, making it possible to do a more focused campus animal survey or a broader citywide survey. Alternatively, the subteam could also use the current Snapshot USA protocol and similar camera locations / angles to compare results between the Spring and Fall months.

	Our responsibility was to follow the protocols provided by Snapshot USA and act as a collaborator for this nationwide project. This process involved placing camera traps in various greenspaces around the Midtown area of Atlanta, periodically monitoring the cameras and downloading captured images, and uploading/tagging images at the end of the survey. We also monitored individual camera performance in order to mitigate errors in future collaborations with the Snapshot USA initiative and/or surveys of our own.

		+	This project most directly relates to the place petal of the Living Building Challenge Sustainability Petals. The Kendeda Building is located on Georgia Tech's campus, which is in the heart of Atlanta. We recognize the importance of our place within the city, so the range of our observations were not exclusive to the Kendeda Building and Georgia Tech. Many of our camera traps were set in larger greenspaces in Midtown area, such as Piedmont Park, Ansley Park, and Morningside Preserve.

		+	Since Snapshot USA is an annual survey, the biodiversity subteam will have another chance to participate in the initiative in the 2023 Fall semester and expand upon the current methods. This could include placing the camera traps in different locations, optimizing the placement of camera traps by analyzing what was successful about this year's placements, and mapping out the placements through ArcGIS.
