Installing Wildlife Camera Traps
A database on Langkawi’s terrestrial vertebrae via camera trapping is currently in development. The photographic documentation of nocturnal wildlife residing around Datai Bay has already been captured via our camera trapping equipment by our team of naturalists. This continuous education on animal behaviour and their habitats enables the development of more effective conservation programmes. At least 23 camera traps will be setup in the rainforest at Teluk Datai to support this study.
