The seminar was attended by 45 people, including heads and specialists from nature reserves and scientific institutes.
The seminar-conference presented works carried out throughout Russia, and even beyond it - in China and Antarctica. Methodological reports on approaches to monitoring animals depending on their phylogenetic group, lifestyle and research objectives were presented. Reports were presented on censuses of individually distinguishable animals (tigers, leopards, snow leopards), approaches to census of animals whose individual recognition is difficult (wild boar, elk, red deer), on the use of camera traps to observe the behavior of birds and marine mammals. Such an exchange of experience allows employees of specially protected natural areas to use camera traps more effectively for work in reserves and national parks, as well as to strengthen interaction with academic science.
