The IIF is currently raising funds to help purchase at least 20 more camera traps that will help expand this effort to document iguanas in hard to reach areas. It also provides a certain measure of stealth. Because when biologists tromp through the bush, no matter how quietly, they make noise, thus scaring the wary iguanas into hiding and retreats. However the cameras are quiet and don’t disturb the iguana’s normal activity patterns. And in the long run, it is much more economical to deploy cameras rather than people. And more efficient: imagine 25 camera traps recording information at 25 sites, as opposed to two field biologists trying to cover all these areas daily, even for a few minutes. This technology increases exponentially the amount of information that can be collected, and shows tremendous promise for expanding our knowledge of these shy and elusive creatures.
