Abstract

The conservation of endangered and rare mammal populations requires accurate inventorying. Traditional live-trapping methods can be labor-intensive, time-consuming and prone to errors, while camera trapping (CT) offers an effective alternative, enabling conservation efforts to focus on what is needed most. The current study utilized CT to understand the species richness and relative abundance of mammals in Kali Tiger Reserve, India. The sampling period was from March to May 2021, divided into three phases, each lasting 25 days and covering three different regions of the study area. The Rarefaction technique proved that 364 out of 462 camera stations was adequate effort for accurately estimating the composition of 22 mammal species comprising of eight herbivores, two omnivores, and six carnivores. The eastern region had a higher concentration of mammal species with the highest captures occurring at elevation ranging from 400 to 800 m. The study also noted the extensive presence of domestic animals and human activities, including hunting and poaching of wildlife within the reserve. The findings serve as a baseline for future assessments of conservation management interventions in Kali Tiger Reserve.

通过相机诱捕建立印度卡利老虎保护区哺乳动物多样性基线
保护濒危和珍稀哺乳动物种群需要准确的清点。传统的活体诱捕法耗费大量人力、时间,而且容易出错,而相机诱捕法(CT)则是一种有效的替代方法,能让保护工作集中在最需要的地方。本研究利用 CT 了解印度卡利老虎保护区哺乳动物的物种丰富度和相对丰度。取样时间为 2021 年 3 月至 5 月,分为三个阶段,每个阶段持续 25 天,覆盖研究区的三个不同区域。稀释技术证明,462 个照相站中的 364 个足以准确估计 22 种哺乳动物的组成,包括 8 种食草动物、2 种杂食动物和 6 种食肉动物。研究还注意到保护区内存在大量家畜和人类活动,包括狩猎和偷猎野生动物。研究结果可作为未来评估卡利老虎保护区保护管理干预措施的基线。
