The camera trap team split into four groups working in parallel to place over the next five days more than 50 camera trap stations across an area of more than 200 km2 along the Madidi River and its tributaries. Apart from sampling the large terrestrial vertebrate diversity at Alto Madidi the camera traps will also provide a third sampling occasion for monitoring jaguar populations in the Madidi National Park and the Ixiamas Municipal Protected Area. Other members of the #IDMadidi team start setting up the camp which will be home for the next month as a cooler south wind with light rain arrives.
