This project follows the CFTF-ForestGEO Vertebrate Monitoring Protocol for the Foresty Dynamics Plot at the Yasuní Research Station. Cameras were placed in an even grid spread across the 50-ha plot and a buffer zone surrounding it. The 50 deployments were achieved in three sets, each deployment was 20 days.

The Connecting Students with Wildlife Project (CSWP) is a west coast wildlife monitoring project using camera traps as educational tools to teach local students about wildlife tracking, safety and ecology, as well as how to coexist with carnivores in their communities.
