Successful results have been received in a very short period of time. Camera-traps took several photos of a poacher who were known for long time but could not be captured before. In the following months of the survey, different poachers were photographed with their weapons in the reserve. The method that we developed proved itself successful as not a single poacher was photographed in the later months of the project, although we constantly changed the locations of the traps and placed them on different trails. In this period, the fact that gunshots were heard confirmed our success.
