Insights into the winter behaviour of the elusive Jack Snipe w/ SOLARIS. Using WEAPON 4K trail cams in the Leimental Valley, researchers Nicolas Martinez & Tobias Roth documented the species’ daytime presence & nocturnal activity, rarely observed in this cryptic European wader.

Tatsuro Taira had no idea what was going on between Khamzat and Sean Strickland 😭 “I study English every day, but it’s too difficult for me today.”

Outtakes from the Great Gobi B Biosphere, where Dr Petra Kaczensky & team’s cams attracted a few inspectors. Featuring: a Eurasian lynx, wild boar, Isabelline shrike & a raven, all stopping by to check out the WEAPON 4K setup. Learn more: savethewildhorse.org/en/

Shoebills & young captured in the Bangweulu Wetlands, Zambia with the WEAPON 4K cams. Under the Shoebill Nest Protection Programme led by Maggie Hirschauer (@AfricanParks), WEAPON 4K cams monitored 12 nests over 4 months, capturing rare incubation & chick-rearing behaviour.

Featured: Andrew Allan & Laura LaBarge deploying SOLARIS cams in Soutpansberg & an African leopard captured. After 6+ months: “Even in shade, the solar panel kept batteries charged-no AAs needed. Despite a very wet season, performance hasn’t dropped & support has been excellent”

First confirmed record of Boutourline’s blue monkey in South Sudan! Captured on WEAPON 4K cams in Boma-Badingilo by @AfricanParks (by W. Krynauw & M. Claase) - to read further - wildsolutions.nl/boma/ #SOLARISTrailCameras #AfricanParks #WildlifeMonitoring #Conservation

Published today Nature Scientific Reports a new ecoregion for Africa for the mountains of southern Malawi / Northern Mozambique - the South East Africa Montane Archipelago (SEAMA). doi.org/10.1038/s41598… Proud to have coordinated 20+ years of field work to make this possible

Big news from South Sudan! @AfricanParks (W. Krynauw & M. Claase) recorded Boutourline’s blue monkey on our WEAPON 4K cams in Boma Forest - the country’s first confirmed record! TANGO community rangers made it happen, deploying cams & supporting coexistence across the landscape

Long-term monitoring works, if your tech keeps up. Powered by the sun, the WEAPON 4K trail cam captures uninterrupted wildlife action - seen here a spotted hyena feeding on a carcass, filmed in Queen Elizabeth NP by the @VolcanoesSafari Kyambura Lion Project team!

The vulnerable goitered gazelle numbers are on the rise in Mongolia’s Great Gobi B! Still understudied, but that’s changing as Dr Petra Kaczensky & have launched a focused study to better understand them in this extreme desert - storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ab78d9… solaristrailcameras.com

Yellow-throated marten captured in Uttarakhand’s forests! During a winter survey, WEAPON 4K cameras deployed by @TinsaFoundation & Himalayan Institute for Sustainable Environment and Research (HISER) revealed insights into high-altitude, cave-dwelling mammals for vital baselines

I’m locked out…

Oh my God

African leopard captured on WEAPON 4K trail camera in Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth NP, Uganda. Deployed by Karts Andrew of the @VolcanoesSafari Partnership Trust in the “Valley of the Apes”, where chimps, elephants, and leopards thrive. #SOLARISTrailCameras #CameraTrap

Sometimes wildlife handles the cam work in the field! Takhi (wild horses) in Mongolia’s Greater Gobi B nudged & readjusted the WEAPON 4K cam, seemingly to get the whole herd in frame.🐴 📸 Dr Petra Kaczensky / Uni of Inland Norway #SOLARISTrailCameras #CameraTrap

Is fighting (Jiu Jitsu) actually the BEST therapy you can have? 💯 that water and swimming analogy is EXACTLY on point. it could be part of gym class! Everyone knows how to swim right? #TheoVonPodcast

SOLARIS in Selous, Tanzania w/ @LionLandscapes where through a community camera-trapping model, local people monitor wildlife & earn benefits tied to species like lions, wild dogs & cheetahs! Great to see SOLARIS supporting models that improve wildlife tolerance & scale globally.

BJJ is interesting because it’s like “I have been engaging in hand-to-hand combat with this man twice a week for like a year. I do not remember his name. He is a better friend to me than 90% of my co-workers.”

Striped hyena on WEAPON 4K in #Turkmenistan🐾 A rare sighting of this declining species, now under increased protection efforts through CMS. Captured by Tanya Rosen and team, who continue to monitor and protect wildlife across this arid landscape.
