Infrared Camera Survey of Mammalian Resources in the National Nature Reserve of the Naban River Basin
In order to better understand the status of animal resources in the National Nature Reserve of the Naban River Basin,the diversity of wild animals and the activity patterns of the flagship species,Indian bison,were investi-gated.In this study,40 infrared cameras for monitoring in 2022 were deployedaccording to the kilometer grid meth-od.A total of 17 species of large and medium-sized mammals,belonging to 9 families and 4 orders,were recorded.Among them,there were 2 species(Indian bison and macaque)and 8 species under national level Ⅰ and Ⅱ key pro-tection.6 species of mammals were rated as vulnerable(VU),and 3 species were rated as near threatened(NT).U-sing RAI for species diversity analysis,it was found that red muntjac had the highest RAI,followed by water deer and wild boar.Among the 40 monitoring grids,16 and 17 species of mammals were detected in the core and buffer zones,respectively.The flagship species,the Indian bison,were mostly active in the northwest of the area and mi-grate northward.This indicates that the protected area has a rich variety of endangered animal species,a considera-ble population size,and a large distribution area,confirming that the protection of rare and endangered species and flagship species has achieved outstanding results over the years.
