A workshop on camera trapping, tracks and signs at the Borivali national park


How many times have you seen researchers discuss animal movements on TV and wished to know just how they did it? This workshop intends to get you up close to wild animals. It focuses on teaching the attendees camera trapping, a method used to monitor movements and collect data on animals, and also educate them about studying animal trails.
