The Bermuda petrel was thought to be extinct for over 300 years .

For centuries , no one knew this highly unusual bird still existed.

A Bermudian conservationist with a proclivity for DIY electronics decided to hack a couple GoPros and set up one of the earliest 24/7 livestreamed bird cams.

Cahow cams are one of the world’s first 24/7 livestreamed wildlife cameras.

At last count, more than 40 million minutes of video had been watched.

The cahow cam allows the team to “ground-truth” preexisting theories about breeding and behavior.

Cahow cams will be streaming and recording this cahow hatching season in 4 K HD.

Rouja hopes the cameras will automate the search, so they can spot a rat before its presence would become a “disaster” The project was “my gateway into conservation tech with it all now running in parallel,” he says.
