Camera Trap Detection Rate
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
This curve shows how a field measurement for this indicator would score across all available benchmark forms in this context.
Evidence & Context
The data shows that as cat detections are suppressed to levels around the management target, the detection rate for quolls increases substantially, peaking at a rate of approximately 15 to 20 detections per 100 trap-nights.
Camera Trap Detection Rate for key reintroduced/sensitive native species (e.g., Western Quoll).
This benchmark sets a minimum Camera Trap Detection Rate of 15 detections per 100 trap-nights for key reintroduced or sensitive native species, indicating a thriving native population in conservation areas.
A rate of > 15 detections per 100 trap-nights serves as a robust indicator of a thriving native population, based on data from the Bounceback program.
