Multi-species monitoring

A system of ‘instantaneous scan sampling’ is used to monitor presence of 6 different species in the baï – elephants, gorilla, sitatunga (a kind of swamp antelope), potamochère (also known as red river hogs), forest buffalo, and otters. This research allows us to find patterns in daily and seasonal use of the baï by these species, as well as to flag up declines in number or other problems.
