From China to Vietnam, Madagascar to the DR Congo, LVDI International has contributed to conservation science through multidisciplinary studies, and transfer of knowledge, skills and technology. We pioneered the development of long-term undisturbed camera traps used to monitor populations of threatened wildlife. As many wild animals are wary of human activity, having the ability to collect data over months or even years without disturbance is critical to understanding the behavior and ecology of these species. Such information is essential for protected area managers to make the most informed decisions.
