| Pumas as a Tool to Fight Against Poaching in Brazil | |
| 2008 Feline Conservation Federation (52): 22-26 | |
We would look for presence signs for both species: pumas and human beings. The concept of the project is quite simple: let us use pumas as a tool to fight against poaching. Several hunting presence signs can be found: salt heap, bait, hunter's tree shelters, hunting camps, motion-activated trap. The puma presence signs we have found so far are the following: scratches on the ground, scratches on the trees, scats, kills and tracks. |
