It’s hard to observe from the ground and difficult for researchers to access, so conservation biologist Tremie Gregory learned to climb trees. In the Peruvian Amazon, Gregory tests strategies that can help protect wildlife impacted by pipelines and other major projects. Her research, using 📸 camera traps that snap photos when an infrared sensor is triggered, focuses on animals that live almost exclusively in treetops, such as monkeys, kinkajous and opossums. Few people get to experience the tropical forest canopy firsthand. “It’s so multidimensional. There’s life springing out of every tree hole and every leaf,” says Gregory. 📷: Diego Balbuena #WorldRainforestDay」6月23日 3時44分
