2 SnapshotSafari is a transnational program aiming at providing a greater knowledge about mammal populations accross southern Africa. Thanks to standardized camera traps (CTs) grid, deployed in various locations reflecting a diversity of conservation states (from protected areas to highly transformed areas), SnapshotSafari aims at describing mammal population abundances, diversities and spatial occurrences. The data provided will benefit Research, in fields as broad as Genetics, Ecology or conservation Biology, as well by providing to conservation planning a comprehensive synthesis of which species can be found in their location, with which abundance...etc. Camera trap operational time

The project is coordinated in by Nelson by Mandela University’s Wildlife Ecology Lab. The images collected by the CTs (as much as thousands per site) are sent to the United States (University of Minnesota) to be processed via a participative science plateform (Zooniverse) and machine learning (a popular IT field that allows automatized recognition of elements in an image, for instance antelopes in a landscape photo).

3 General statistics

Species richness per camera trap

Relative Abundance Index (RAI) is calculated according to the trapping rate of each camera (i.e. the frequency of animal detection).

4 RAI of species of special concern
