In landscapes around the world WWF scientists and field staff are using cameras equipped with infrared triggers, called camera traps, to obtain critical data about wildlife and their habitats. Now you can access the same pictures used by our scientists to study wildlife and their habitats and make important decisions about conservation. More on Camera Traps
These lush forests are home to a stunning variety of life. WWF’s AREAS Amazonia project has captured never-before-seen images of the Amazon’s species – from jaguars to armadillos. Find out what kind of creature a tayra is and how many ants it takes to feed a giant anteater.

On the Indonesian island of Sumatra, WWF is collaborating with the Riau Forestry Department, using camera traps to help conduct presence/absence surveys that will provide a range map for tigers in Sumatra's lowland rainforest. The cameras will also help provide a density estimate of tigers in various habitat types and determine whether there are adequate prey species for tigers to subsist. The results could have significant implications for species and forest preservation here and around the world.
