Why does scientific research use Camera-Trap technology?
Camera traps can be used to help estimate the population density of a species. For example, by placing camera traps at a number of locations in a study area, the wild cats will (if the camera trap sites are well chosen) walk through one or more of the camera traps and be photographed. The photographs can then be studied to identify the individual animals (some wild cats have unique markings) and the number of different individuals that have been photographed can be noted. Camera traps are a significant contributor to scientific data.
