Abstract
Understanding population density and distribution, interactions between species and the environment, and behavioral tendencies within a population are core facets of ecology. Additionally, these are all important aspects of conservation and wildlife management. Camera traps are beneficial tools for collecting this data, as they are less invasive, more durable, and can remain strategically placed in the field for an extended duration compared to a human observer. During an ecology study abroad in Botswana, students set out camera traps at high-traffic areas to collect population and behavior data. Comparing population insights into the patterns and movement of common local wildlife.
