Non-Invasive Survey Methods: Camera Trapping and Acoustic Monitoring
In this 5-day field course geared towards university students and early-career professionals, you will learn how to design, set up, run, and manage data for camera traps and acoustic monitoring studies to survey wildlife populations. Each day will consist of lectures, going out into the field to set up and check equipment, and managing and analyzing photos and acoustic data back in the lab.
In the evenings, while you stay at our Education Camp yurts, you will have opportunities to enjoy additional activities such as a night hike, mothing survey, bat survey, and/or bonfires. On the final day, the group will also take an Open-Air Safari.
