Photo album tells story of wildlife decline
It's safe to say that the humble camera trap has revolutionized wildlife conservation. This simple contraption--an automated digital camera that takes a flash photo whenever an animal triggers an infrared sensor--has allowed scientists to collect photographic evidence of rarely seen, and often globally endangered species, with little expense and relative ease--at least compared to tromping through tropical forests and swamps looking for endangered rhino scat . Now researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) are taking the utility of the camera trap one step further: a study in Animal Conservation uses a novel methodology, entitled the Wildlife Picture Index (WPI), to analyze population trends of 26 species in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. While the study found a bleak decline in species, it shows the potential of camera traps for moving conservation forward since it marks the first time researchers have used cam
