We use infrared cameras not only as a tool for collecting data to analyze mountain tapir ecology, but also as a tool to involve local communities on tapir conservation. When we receive reports of hunters killing tapirs, we notice that those reports came from places where local communities are not involved on data collection with trail cameras. For that reason, we thought about the idea of making hunters to change their guns for cameras, so they can hunt images for mountain tapir conservation.

We constantly need to acquire new cameras to involve more local people in the project or to replace the ones that get damaged. You can donate a camera through Amazon or other sellers that ship to Colombia. We generally use Bushnell infrared trail cameras, but you can donate any brand. If you decide to donate a camera, please fill the form below so we can send you details regarding, name of receiver, shipment address and phone number. Thanks for considering to support our work. Together we can make a difference for mountain tapirs in the wild!
