Blogging birds: generating narratives about reintroduced species to promote public engagement, by Advaith Siddharthan et al.

The goal here is to popularize red kite conservation efforts by blogging about the life of GPS tracked specimen. The second goal is to educate about their behaviour. To this end they first designed a study to verify that blogging about a birds private life makes the reader more sympathetic to their lot. They found out that indeed it does. After that they designed a prototype that would guess what the kite was up to based on their position. They plan to extend the model with various other things, like the proximity of other kites.
