Wildlife research through cameras in the wild

Trail cameras are invaluable tools in studying wildlife. Firstly, they provide researchers with a non-invasive method of observing animals in their natural habitats. Unlike traditional methods that may disturb or alter animal behavior, trail cameras allow for remote monitoring without direct human presence. Additionally, trail cameras can operate day and night, capturing valuable data on animal activity patterns, behaviors, and interactions around the clock. This continuous monitoring provides researchers with a comprehensive understanding of wildlife dynamics over time. Furthermore, trail cameras can be placed in remote locations, expanding the scope of research and enabling the study of elusive or nocturnal species that are otherwise difficult to observe. Our research focuses on abundance and richness to determine the best conservation strategies.
