Conservation group New Tupi has begun a camera‑trap survey across key habitats to gather data on wildlife and curb illegal activities.
New Tupi, a wildlife‑conservation initiative, has started a systematic camera‑trap survey across several Indian habitats. The project involves deploying motion‑sensitive cameras in forests and protected areas to record animal movements and detect signs of poaching.
The data collected will help scientists and authorities map species distribution, assess population trends, and identify hotspots of illegal hunting. By providing real‑time visual evidence, the survey aims to strengthen anti‑poaching measures and support habitat management plans.
Officials from New Tupi said the technology offers a non‑intrusive way to monitor ecosystems while minimizing human disturbance. The organization plans to expand the network of camera traps over the coming months, covering additional regions where wildlife faces growing threats.
