Results of using photo traps for observations for hunting animals "Vishersky"
In recent years, camera traps have been actively used in field work for remote observation of wild animals in natural conditions. With their help, it became possible for researchers to obtain geo-required data on the vital activity of many species of verteb-rates without direct human intervention primarily in the territories of reserves and national parks in Russia, where the disturlnce factor is practically absent or minimized. The first result of analysis of data on hunting and fishing animals collected using camera traps at the Vishera State Nature Reserve for the period from June 2016 to July 2020 are presented. Among them, the most numerous objects of photo traps over the entire period of observation were elk - 56,5 %, white hare - 12,5% and brown bear - 10,0%, which together accounted for accounted for 79% of the total number of photolocations.
