These cameras allow researchers and zookeepers to observe the behaviors of animals like snow leopards without intruding into their space or altering their natural activities.

This noninvasive monitoring is crucial for studying their habits, health, and interactions.

Additionally, the footage gathered helps manage and ensure the well-being of these animals by providing insights that might not be noticeable during regular zoo hours.

Engaging and Educating the Public
