There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Again, why so much hate and lies against such an excellent method to understand animals, like radiocollaring?
There had been a few deaths, but all have been accidents and the percentage is less than 5% (much less in other animals) from entire captures. You are acting like a zelote against something that you simply don't understand.
The benefits of camera traps are only on tiger density, thanks to its stripe pattern, but even at 2014, they are still useless to estimate other animal densities, prey densities is made by transects studies (Karanth et al. 2013). The only other use is to found undiscovered behaviors and STILL, camera traps per se can't show us if those particular behaviors are the norm or the rule.
Science is not a simple paper, it need deep investigation, but you simple can't understand this, why? Well, that is my question.
Finally, scientists and experts, I mean REAL experts, agree with me. All those comments from ignorant people are immature and irrelevant. Science will keep they steeps, that is all what matters.
Eyes on or hands on? A discussion of human interference
