WomSAT Description: WomSAT (Wombat Survey and Analysis Tools) is a citizen science project aimed at monitoring and protecting Australia's wombat populations.

The initiative provides an online platform for community members to record wombat sightings and burrow locations across the country, helping to track wombat populations and identify areas where they may be under threat. The data collected helps inform conservation strategies and management decisions.

By engaging citizens in data collection, WomSAT aims to raise awareness about wombat conservation issues and contribute to the protection of wombats.
