Have you heard about our Camera Trap Project? It is our pioneering project!

The Añangu Kichwa Community has 25 heat and motion sensitive cameras strategically situated in the reserve that we manage in the Yasuní National Park. The purpose of the cameras is to survey the large mammals and birds in a range of habitats and to monitor their patterns of activity.

The information collected will be used for scientific studies of populations, animal density, behavior and use of specific habitats… but of course it produces some great pictures too! So far, we have fantastic images of ocelots, pumas, jaguars, coatis, tapirs, peccaries, porcupines, rodents, pigeons, tinamous, hawks and more ... You can take a look at the pictures by clicking on the link below.

We are particularly excited about recent pictures of a Black Jaguar.

It is our intention to run the project for 10 years in order to generate a significant quantity of data that will make a real contribution to our understanding of these species, some of which are in danger of extinction or threatened due to the loss of habitat.
