From biodiversity monitoring towards targeted wildlife conservation in the Annamite mountains

In this talk, I will present how recent technological advances have opened up novel opportunities for monitoring biodiversity and informing wildlife conservation, particularly in the Annamite Mountains of Vietnam and Laos. Over the past two decades, tools such as camera traps and environmental DNA (eDNA) have allowed us to access parts of tropical rainforest ecosystems that were previously beyond our scientific reach.

Camera traps now act as the tireless eyes of field biologists, capturing images of elusive and, in some cases, presumed extinct species. I will highlight how our team has further developed and applied these methods to generate robust biodiversity data and how this information is now being used in close collaboration with local partners to prioritize and guide conservation efforts in one of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots.
