After a well-deserved break and improved weather conditions, our main field team was back at work. 💪 She replaced some camera traps damaged last month and continued with habitat assessments. A large amount of environmental data has been collected since the start of our research project, and it will provide valuable information once the radio-tracking of a binturong begins. In this regard, we will soon be resuming our attempts to capture an individual for tracking purposes. We're making a few methodological adjustments first. 💡

Our second field team was deployed to the other study site to carry out the usual replacement of batteries and memory cards in the camera traps installed there. Since last time, we've been able to take a first look at the data collected between May and July, and were delighted to discover binturong records on half of our photo-trapping stations. 😍👏

Back at the office, the scientific team continues its work on the data set. 💻
