I write as Conservation Program Coordinator of NACRES (Noah’s Ark Center for the Recovery of Endangered Species), a Georgian (former soviet republic) conservation NGO.
We purchased 5 TM units in 1999 and I must say that we are extremely happy with the performance of your product. … Since 2000 we have been using TM’s for almost all of our research and conservation projects throughout Georgia. We had photos of brown bears, martens, wild boars, etc. However it was an overwhelming shock to all of us to have a leopard on one of our TMs in April 2004.
Three TMs had been set up in the Vashlovani National Park (SE) for about 3 months. The work was conducted under the GEF/WB Georgia Protected Areas Development Project. The Leopard (Panthera pardus) was long thought to be extinct in Georgia. We had been getting more or less credible reports on leopard sighting from the Great Caucasus mountains every now and then.
Nevertheless it was probably just us who believed that this species could still remain in Georgia. The photos were the first solid evidence of leopard presence in the country for more than 50 years. Thus we also had the first photos of a wild Caucasus leopard. Since then we have been monitoring the leopard and other animals (such as brown bears, lynx, gray wolves, wild boars etc) in Vashlovani National park using TMs.

Texas

I have attached a picture of the federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker - RCW (Picoides borealis) after it landed on its cavity tree. We have the trap set up in Texas. Our configuration of placing the monitor/receiver/camera on the same tree appears to work with good success. "

Belize - Carolyn M Williams
|
Jaguar (Panthera onca) photo(1993) taken in Belize by Carolyn Miller (WCS). I'm sure you will agree that this is a once-in-a-lifetime shot... it blew up to something like 18x24 very well and now hangs in Chan Chich Lodge where it attracts a great deal of attention. If you look closely at the photo behind the animal's hip, you will see a light colored stick... this is where the sender is mounted but blocked from view. You might be interested to know, the same animal was photographed a month later about 6PM at a TM location even closer to the Lodge." --Carolyn Miller

Albino deer photo taken by Steve Bartylla, Northwoods Whitetail Adventures.
"Not only are TrailMaster units invaluable for allowing me to get an accurate whitetail census, they also allow me to capture once in a lifetime pictures. This albino fawn is only one of many pictures that I would have never been able to get on my own. Whether its getting an accurate population estimate, sex ratio, age structure or once in a lifetime photos for seminars and articles, I use TrailMaster because they simply are the best!"
--Steve Bartylla
