So, for the study, we are using the line transect distance sampling technique to estimate the abundance and densities, of animals in the, Baram region. So we have three clusters of villages. In each cluster, our field technicians walk four transects per month, and each of those transect is four km long. They walk each transect twice per month. So altogether, we are covering 96 forests every month, which is quite an achievement on this difficult terrain. Our field technicians look for visual sightings for terrestrial mammals, birds and reptiles.

00:00 So for this study, we are using the line transect distance sampling technique to estimate the abundance and densities of animals in the Maram region.
00:10 So we have three clusters of villages. In each cluster, our field technicians walk four transects per month, and each of those transects is 4 km long.
00:21 They walk each transect twice per month, so all together we are covering 96 km of forest every month, which is quite an achievement on this difficult terrain.
