This is to purchase 30 motion-triggered camera traps and accessories (e.g. SD cards, batteries). They will allow us to monitor the forest floor 24/7 and make an initial assessment of the population of jaguars and abundance of prey species present in the study area.
This is to purchase 25 small hand held cameras for the Matsés hunters that venture into the study area in search for game. They will record signs of wildlife presence such as prints, scats, scrapes or even kills. The second half of this budget will be used to improve the community welfare by providing basic medicines, clothes and financial support for emergency situations.
