Camera Traps

Camera trap technology is a powerful tool in species conservation, using motion- or heat-activated cameras to capture images or videos of wildlife in their natural environments. These devices are deployed in remote or hard-to-access areas, offering researchers a non-invasive way to monitor species diversity, behaviour, and population dynamics over time. Camera traps are particularly effective for studying cryptic, nocturnal, or endangered species, as they provide continuous monitoring without human presence, reducing stress on animals and minimizing environmental impact.
