The ArcticRaptors project is a research partnership that includes the Government of Nunavut, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, ArcticNet Network of Centers of Excellence, the Canadian Circumpolar Institute at the University of Alberta and the University du Quebec Rimouski. The research team employs RECONYX cameras to record breeding phenology (lay dates, initiation of incubation, hatch dates) and to identify causes of nestling mortality. In addition, researchers are often able to identify individuals by reading bands from photographs of birds on nest ledges. For more information and to see some of the images gathered throughout this research go to the ArcticRaptors web site.

The dry lowland rainforests of Sumatra are among the most biologically diverse yet most critically threatened habitats on earth. From an estimated 16 million hectares in 1900 there now remains only 500,000 hectares. This area, named Harapan Rainforest after the Indonesian word for ‘hope’, covers 98,554 hectares of previously logged forest and is being managed for forest restoration with a view to returning the whole of the forest to its original condition. The restoration team has posted a Video Gallery and Image Gallery of wild and threatened animals they have captured on their Reconyx cameras.
Camera Traps Catch Animals In the Act: Camera traps hidden in the Alaskan Arctic have captured tell-tale images of predatory animals raiding the nests of birds that migrate by the millions to the region each year. The guilty finger, however, points to us. According to the Wildlife Conservation Society, energy development activity in the region may benefit certain animal hunters to the detriment of other vulnerable species.
A team of experts set up camera traps in the Wehea forest, on the eastern tip of Borneo island, in June, hoping to capture images of clouded leopards, orangutans and other wildlife known to congregate at several mineral salt licks. The pictures that came back caught them by surprise – groups of monkeys none had ever seen.
