The ever-increasing availability of online data and the advances of today's Web have enabled large-scale experimentation on data crowdsourcing and the effect of the individual on information extraction and knowledge generation. Tiger Nation, a project to promote preservation of the last remaining wild tigers in the world, utilises advanced technologies to unobtrusively track tigers and raise awareness as a participatory sensing exemplar. Through a tiger stripe recognition algorithm and gamification elements that complement the identification process, we have achieved higher levels of accuracy compared to the conventional means, as well as high levels of engagement from the community of users.
