Mammal Occupancy - Jasper National Park

Mammal Occupancy - Jasper National Park

A grid of over 100 cameras has been deployed since 2012 within Jasper National Park in coordination with the other mountain national parks to monitor mammal occupancy. A camera has been placed in almost all accessible accessible grid cells in the park, and are located on wildlife trails, hiking trails, in high quality habitat, at pinch points, and in alpine passes and many are located at rub trees to increase detection probability. This network of cameras is also used for species at risk inventory, to monitor trail use, and to investigate temporal use patterns.
