Tiger camera-trapping methods

Tiger camera-trapping method is currently being used by the Department of Wild Life and National Parks to collect relatively rapid sampling information on tigers in Peninsular Malaysia. The methods have been developed by Wildlife Conservation Society staff in Thailand and Malaysia since 1997 through practical field trials and on-site training in both countries. Currently we sample using a plot size of 40km2 setting up 30 camera-traps in 25 locations using a grid method. At least one camera-trap is positioned in the forest every second square kilometre in the first suitable location encountered. Our methods continue to change and to be refined and adapted.

Abstract

Tiger camera-trapping method is currently being used by the Department of Wild Life and National Parks to collect relatively rapid sampling information on tigers in Peninsular Malaysia. The methods have been developed by Wildlife Conservation Society staff in Thailand and Malaysia since 1997 through practical field trials and on-site training in both countries. Currently we sample using a plot size of 40km2 setting up 30 camera-traps in 25 locations using a grid method. At least one camera-trap is positioned in the forest every second square kilometre in the first suitable location encountered. Our methods continue to change and to be refined and adapted.
