A camera‑trapping program was launched in the Tirap community forest of Arunachal Pradesh to monitor wildlife and curb poaching.
The forest department of Arunachal Pradesh has inaugurated a camera‑trapping initiative in the Tirap community forest. Motion‑activated cameras will be installed across key habitats to capture images of resident wildlife and any illegal activity. The data collected is expected to help authorities assess species presence, movement patterns and potential threats.
Officials said the program aims to strengthen anti‑poaching measures by providing real‑time evidence of intrusions. The visual records will also support broader conservation planning for the region's biodiversity.
The launch marks a step forward in leveraging technology for forest management in the northeastern state, aligning with national goals to protect endangered species and promote sustainable forest use.
