Sometime in the next few weeks I'm going to give a big shout out to PROSCHOICE AUSTRALIA for their help in technology and how that in itself is an essential tool in wildlife monitoring and anti-poaching. With regard to camera traps, they don't just place themselves, there's a lot of strategy and legwork involved. As part of my script here I'm training the Rapid Response Team to use cameras for anti-poaching mainly in buffer zone jungles. This can require twice daily patrolling and camera work in temperatures well over 40 degrees C. These electronic eyes in the jungle, with different types of cameras and communications for different situations are effective but not the only answer in wildlife protection, a broad methodology makes for long hours. At the end of these days buffalo milk never tasted so good. Then after that it's raw data to be sorted, images in their hundreds which tell stories of crouching tigers, speeding monkeys and so much more...
