The technical services of the Consorci del Ter annually install camera traps on a rotating basis to study the fauna in the river's environment and determine the species that inhabit it. This year, cameras were placed in various river stewardship areas, specifically at the El Roig estate in Ripoll, in Foixà-Colomers, and on the island of Avall in Jafre.
Through the Consorci del Ter's social media channels, a video can be viewed featuring some of the detected species, including the otter, badger, nutria, American mink, roe deer, genet, fox, wild boar, marten, hare, shag, great egret, grey heron, and little grebe. This initiative is supported by the Generalitat de Catalunya.
Camera trapping is a non-invasive study technique that allows for the simultaneous acquisition of extensive information, providing data on distribution, abundance, and habitat use. The obtained information is also utilized in environmental education campaigns and talks at schools.
