The introduction of the camera trap in the early 2000s allowed us to answer the long pondered philosophical question: if a tree falls in a forest and there is a camera trap around to record it, is the camera trap a useful tool?

Camera traps help researchers collect data on fauna that are typically considered “shy” when using other methods of surveying. This is because camera traps reduce impact from data collection on animal behavior.
