BTO-The Southern Institute of Ecology (under the Institute of Applied Materials Science ) has just reported the results of a study on silver-backed chevrotains using camera traps at the Long Song - Da Bac Protective Forest Management Board (PFMB) (Tuy Phong).
As a result, the endemic, endangered, and rare silver-backed chevrotain has not been recorded in Long Song - Da Bac Nature Reserve. There are 24 other species of birds and animals recorded, including endangered, precious, and rare species such as the black-shanked douc Pygathrix nigripes, the Javan pangolin Manis javanica, the peacock Pavo muticus, the antelope Capricornis sumatraensis, and the pig-tailed macaque Macaca leonina...

According to the Southern Institute of Ecology, Long Song - Da Bac Forest Reserve in particular and Binh Thuan province in general possess rich and unique biodiversity resources, with potential for ecotourism. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen patrolling and forest protection activities and develop a periodic biodiversity monitoring plan to promptly assess and update the current status and changes of biodiversity, providing information for conservation and sustainable development.
Previously, the Southern Institute of Ecology closely coordinated with the Long Song - Da Bac Forest Protection Management Board to deploy field activities to install camera traps to collect data in the forest area of the Long Song - Da Bac Forest Protection Management Board from March to May 2022.
Data extracted from camera traps after being collected were inventoried, identified and analyzed using modern statistical methods. To ensure representativeness, camera trap points were set up in a field grid in deciduous dipterocarp forest habitat.
The camera trap sites were spaced approximately 500 m apart. One camera trap was installed at each camera trap site. The camera traps were attached to tree trunks at a height of 20-40 cm above the ground to maximize the probability of recording the target species of the study. A total of 36 camera traps were installed.
