Across the world, the equivalent of 27 soccer fields is cleared every minute for agriculture and logging – threatening wildlife and damaging crucial ecosystems. In Costa Rica, camera traps are working to combat this – helping to both record animals such as jaguars, pumas, tapirs and armadillos, while also helping to monitor the health of the ecosystem. In addition, camera trapping is also attracting tourists, which boosts local income – allowing the community and biodiversity to exist in harmony.
