On the first day, our students split up into teams and gained expertise in map reading techniques and learned to lay out transects. The team became acquainted with an array of specialized instruments, from the precision of range finders and compasses and systematic pit tags.

On day 3, students were introduced to capture-recapture methodologies. The students set up camera traps in 48 locations, spread throughout the reserve. Over six nights, the camera traps photo-captured species like Tigers, Honey Badger, Leopard, Nilgai, Small Indian Civet, Rusty

Our students were also exposed to scat analysis.They practiced the pellet count method, sampling every 400m along line transects. This exercise emphasized the significance of sign surveys in assessing wildlife presence and understanding species distribution in an area. #XXMSC_WII
