An inside look at our conservation work on the frontlines to save Malayan tigers: “This summer, they installed 95 camera trap stations across a 147,000 acre grid. At each one, two automatic cameras secured opposite each other detect and capture the motion and body heat of tigers passing by, day or night. After 60 days, researchers downloaded and analyzed photographs of tigers’ individual stripe patterns to estimate the grid’s population and to determine tiger hotspots. Other animals get photographed, too, including animals that tigers prey upon and animals that prey upon tigers: poachers.”
