Monitoring, Research, DataCamera-trapping The use of automated cameras triggered by animals passing in front of them has been used extensively in the Udzungwa Mountains by a number of scientists (Jim Sanderson, Daniela De Luca, Francesco Rovero, Trevor Jones, TEAM project and others). See here for a selection of camera trap photos. A large list of over 40 forest mammals (download checklist) has been camera-trapped in the Udzungwa Mountains until now, including notable records of carnivores such as the Lowe's servaline genet and the Jackson's mongoose, the new species of giant elephant-shrew Rhynchocyon udzungwensis, and the first ever photograph in the wild of Abbott's duiker. Other than for broad surveys, camera-traps have been used for focal work on carnivores and forest ungulates (see Directory of research for more details). Moreover, a camera trapping-based protocol to monitor terrestrial vertebrates is currently being implemented in Mwanihana forest by the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) programme of Conservation International. |
