Camera Traps
Sumatra
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.
