#Tech4Wildlife photo challenge, D3! 📍🇧🇷

Thanks to camera traps, we could identify more than 70 species using the burrows that giant armadillos dig, which can be up to 5 meters long and serve as shelter from extreme temperatures or predators.@WILDLABSNET

Camera traps are a non-invasive & cost-effective #Tech4Wildlife for collecting continuous sampling data



Here's the @scnlliberia team setting up camera traps in the Gola rainforest to monitor elusive species such as pygmy hippos. To find out more visit👉https://t.co/jPywUZ4ios pic.twitter.com/14W38dtkCh

CREA's Margay Project cameratraps being put to innovative use 20 meters up a tree. Arboreal cameratrapping is proving to be incredibly productive for rainforest research opening up the previously understudied habitat. #Tech4Wildlife @Shaldonzoo @WelshMountainZo pic.twitter.com/NKn20VgOwM

#Tech4Wildlife We are using Birdsy AI to connect to IP cameras, allowing users to have their cams monitored by the system, recording only clips of wildlife, IDing them and saving them to the cloud. Species are logged and the cam can be live streamed on https://t.co/2P5Wrs5eAc 😀 pic.twitter.com/BdzUMfE2xj

#Tech4Wildlife still needs human drivers, maintaining our arboreal cameratrap array takes a bit more effort than a ground based equivalent. pic.twitter.com/WLLVIDn6oH

Hi, #Tech4Wildlife. I am using the @BirdsyTV AI technology to monitor all sort of spaces. I don't have to trawl through loads of clips or footage. The AI recognises wildlife there & saves the clip for me. I can access clips via app or browser & live stream my cam as well. #AI pic.twitter.com/tiBBQHiOYQ

The #Tech4Wildlife Photo Challenge gave me a good excuse to show that we have collared 3 carnivores in the #DryForest of NW Peru: Pampas cats, pumas and Sehuran foxes. We'll gather this information in a single paper, but first we have to find time. @CindyM_Hurtado pic.twitter.com/YPHw8lsgS7
