For its size, this landscape holds the highest diversity (57 species) of medium- and large-sized mammal species the world---eight of which are globally threatened with extinction according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. On Lolldaiga Hills Ranch alone, 401 species of bird have been recorded to date---of which 11 species are globally threatened. As such, \u2018Important Bird and Biodiversity Area\u2019 status is currently pending for eastern Laikipia, which includes Lolldaiga Hills Ranch.\r\n\r\nResearch conducted by the Lolldaiga Hills Research Programme includes:\r\n\r\n1) Documenting the biological diversity of the Lolldaiga Hills Conservation Landscape in order to develop authoritative and comprehensive species lists;\r\n2) Undertaking and supporting applied ecological research, particularly on threatened species and habitats;\r\n3) Monitoring species abundance and distribution in order to detect change and trends; \r\n\r\nThe camera traps employed on Lolldaiga Hills Ranch are often moved in order to document change in species presence, abundance and distribution in the many habitat types.

In 2018 they executed the largest camera trap grid in Central America and executed region-wide monitoring which hadn\u2019t been done since the 90\u2019s. Check out their story on [Mongabay](https://news.mongabay.com/2018/10/the-osa-camera-trap-network-uniting-people-to-monitor-biodiversity/).\r\n \r\nThe OCTN carry out specific large-scale projects and long-term monitoring on the members lands to generate vital information on focal species to assess conservation success and habitat connectivity. They focus on large megafauna such as tapirs, apex predators (jaguar, puma and ocelot) and their prey (white-lipped peccaries, collared peccaries and red-brocket deer) between the two national parks (Corcovado and Piedras Blancas) and the connecting corridors (Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve). This information allows them to highlight species that require conservation focus, parts of the Osa that require restoration efforts and monitor the threats these species face. \r\nThese efforts generate a large quantity of camera trap photos. They need your help to identify all the wildlife in these images, so they are able to unveil the conservation success stories and the future challenges ahead.\r\n \r\nThe Osa Camera Trap Network members are now joining the Ocho Verde Wildlife preserve in using GSM cameras to see wildlife movements in real-time. This project is currently operated by two of the OCTN members, both the [Finca Ocho Verde preserve](http://ochoverde.com/), which is in an area of lowland tropical rainforest and meandering creeks in the Osa Peninsula close to Piedras Blancas National Park and [Osa Conservation](https://osaconservation.org/), a non-profit protecting 3,300ha of tropical rainforest close to Corcovado National Park.\r\n\r\nCreative commons image: \r\n\r\nSilky anteater - Quinten Questel, CC BY-SA 3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Silky_Anteater.jpg", "owners_ids": [5, 1282, 5, 1282]}, {"info": {"sched": "default", "countryCode": "MY", "container": "user_1726", "country": "Malaysia", "thumbnail_url": "/uploads/user_1726/project_25_thumbnail_1521989808.png", "thumbnail": "project_25_thumbnail_1521989808.png"}, "updated": "2024-03-28T04:52:32.478735", "description": "Help conservationists understand what threats such as logging mean for species living in one of the planet's oldest rainforests.

Using citizen science help, scientists might be able to monitor larger areas and relay their findings more quickly. \r\n\r\nAlong the way you might encounter the orangutans, elephants, bears and clouded leopards that call this hotspot of diversity their home. You may also come across a whole host of less well known species, including treeshrews, bearcats and beautiful pheasants! \r\n\r\nThis project is being carried out by scientists at ZSL\u2019s Institute of Zoology. The project uses images from non-live camera traps, which will be uploaded in small batches each weekday.
