Animal Trap Cameras:
Camera traps help us to uncover invaluable information about rare species and their habitats, which we can then use to ensure that they are effectively protected.
These Track cameras let us know where Wild animals live while providing crucial information to share with local governments when making land-use decisions, such as what forests most need to be protected.
Camera traps are invaluable, non-invasive and cost effective tools that provide wildlife researchers with photographic data that can be used to estimate density and abundance of a specific species, proof of presence of a species in an area and trends in population change due to anthropogenic pressures, among other data. Such data derived from the systematic and scientific use of camera traps help conservationists in taking management and policy decisions.
Today camera trapping has been transformed by technology to become a major tool for conservation organizations like heat and motion sensors have replaced wires and pressures pads. Invisible infra-red flash units provide night time monochrome images without the startling effect of conventional flash. Very large numbers of high quality digital images can be stored and modern batteries allow these devices to operate unsupervised night and day in remote locations for months at a time. This gives us the opportunity to learn new things about elusive wild animals and some of the problems they face.
