SilentSong: if you find a dead animal, tell us

Much of our wildlife dies from causes tied to human activity, and almost no case is ever recorded. SilentSong is our app so that anyone can report it from their phone, in under two minutes.

It works with no signal: the report is stored on the phone and sent as soon as the connection returns.
