The camera traps installed in the Morena Bio-Reserve continue to reveal the diversity of wildlife using this area. Discreetly and without disturbing the animals, these devices allow us to record the presence of different species of wild mammals, some of which would otherwise be very difficult to observe. These records therefore help us to better understand a component of biodiversity that often goes unnoticed.
In addition to confirming the presence of different species, the images and videos collected allow us to learn more about their behaviour, activity patterns and the ways in which they use the Bio-Reserve. Over time, this information also helps us understand which areas are used most frequently, how animals move across the landscape, and how different species use and share the same space. Continued monitoring allows us to build an increasingly complete picture of the mammal community present in Morena.
Camera trapping is therefore an important tool for monitoring biodiversity in the Morena Bio-Reserve and for gaining a better understanding of its ecological dynamics. Each new record adds to the knowledge we are building about local wildlife and helps inform the management and conservation of this area. At the same time, these records highlight the importance of Bio-Reserves as refuges where wildlife can find food, shelter and tranquillity.
