"The point here is that you (and your hippie friends) can't attack a procedure with such a hate, when the 80% of tiger knowledge is based on this"

This is what I am talking about.
My Hippie friends are actual scientists. And there is NO chance that 80% of Tiger knowledge is from Collars. That is a complete fabrication by you. I have discredited no one, and have shown numerous Dr.s who use camera traps as proof. You are the one discrediting here, not me.



 

Scientists? Sorry, but to have a camera don't make a person a "scientists". It requires... a liiiitle more time in University. [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Finally, where do you think that all the knowledge of tigers came? Obviously, from the Nepal studies, from the Nagarahole studies and the Panna studies, ALL of them used Radiocollars. Also, in Russia, 90% of modern knowledge of tiger came from the Siberian Tiger Project studies, which is Radiocollars. In fact, 80% of tiger knowledge in India came from those scientific studies, plus the one year observation of Schaller (he don't used collars, but probably would use them). Read ANY scientific and profesional book on tigers, and the data came from the studies mentioned above.

It is very sad that people like you still think that the scientific knowledge is bad. I have mentioned this many times, but it you simple can't understand it: BOTH methods are good, and BOTH complement each other, but cameras alone CAN'T give you the full frame, don't provide QUALITATIVE DATA and only long therm studies are able to teach us how is the behavior and sociability of the tigers.
 


 

Dr. Alan Robowitz used camera traps to find the corridor through bhutan. Which you are already aware of. WWF uses camera traps and works with many wildlife biologists, drs, FD, and many others.
List goes on.
