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.

Eyes on or hands on? A discussion of human interference

And do I need to go through the amount of camera traps that are being used now, again?
Its weird how I post tons of accounts and you respond to none of them.
You have the idea that "if a few die, they die" as long as most survive. 
That is the opposite of conservation, and since camera traps, gps, radar, sonar etc. All provide far better data than camera traps could ever do. Hence why they are the most commonly used technology in monitoring wild animals.

another MASSIVE list of animals monitored by Camera traps from the WWF
http://www.wwfindia.org/?7322/Camera-tra...ross-India

Im sure you will simply disregard these, but this debate is done.
Animals die during camera trapping, tigers die, get stressed, loose weight, get infections, etc.
Whether its 5% or 100%, it doesn't matter... Its too much!
Camera traps provide more info than a radio collar ever will. Monitoring a single individual is meaningless, camera traps can do the same yet provide information on the entire land scape. Hence why they are used far more, and successfully.
