The Project
The goal of our research is simple in theory: we wish to obtain the first photographic proof of
the primate known as Orang Pendek. The next question is,
how do we get a picture of such a rare and seclusive animal? The most promising strategy is a
technique called camera-trapping that researchers have used very successfully in recent years all
around the world to document and study a variety of animals. In
Kerinci-Seblat National Park (where we are) researchers
use camera-trapping methods to study the endangered Sumatran Tiger, of which fewer than 500 still
exist.
