According to the national park's website, the Arshatinsky Forestry is monitoring rare animals using camera traps to preserve biodiversity.
"Recently, one of the installed camera traps captured an image of a lynx, providing crucial information from both scientific and ecological perspectives. The lynx is a species of wild cat inhabiting the mountainous areas of our country, including the Katon-Karagai National Park. These animals typically remain out of human sight, but their protection is extremely important. These predators play a key role in maintaining the biological balance," the park's announcement highlighted.
The park also recalled that Siberian ibexes freely traverse the mountain peaks and steep cliffs, adapting to the extreme conditions of nature. According to monitoring data, approximately 900 Siberian ibexes reside in Katon-Karagai National Park.
A camera trap is a device equipped with a motion sensor that automatically takes photos or videos when movement is detected in the filming area. It is used for wildlife observation, territory protection, and monitoring objects.
In October, another lynx, listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature, was spotted in the Altyn-Emel National Park.
