Digital Wild Cams

The ArcticRaptors project is a research partnership that includes the Government of Nunavut, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, ArcticNet Network of Centers of Excellence, the Canadian Circumpolar Institute at the University of Alberta and the University du Quebec Rimouski. The research team employs RECONYX cameras to record breeding phenology (lay dates, initiation of incubation, hatch dates) and to identify causes of nestling mortality. In addition, researchers are often able to identify individuals by reading bands from photographs of birds on nest ledges. For more information and to see some of the images gathered throughout this research go to the ArcticRaptors web site.

The Okapi—a secretive rain forest animal so elusive it has been compared to the Unicorn—has been photographed for the first time in the wild using a RECONYX camera. For more information see the story on-line at the National Geographic.

The Center for Conservation Education and Sustainability of the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park has been using RECONYX cameras for its Peruvian Amazon Biodiversity Project. To see their slide show and to learn more about this project go to the Smithsonian's web site.
