We were taken by surprise by the rain and flooding. Fortunately, the whole team was safe and sound. In the field, the team changed the batteries and memory cards in the camera traps installed at the main study site.
 
As for the other research site, we took a first look at the images recovered in January. We were delighted to find that binturong had already been photographed in the area by our camera traps 🌟
 
A Palawan pangolin (listed on the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered) was also detected by one of them. 🙌 If you remember, World Pangolin Day took place a few weeks ago, on February 15. On our two study sites, palm civets are regularly observed.
