As part of a research study that has been ongoing at Mole National Park since 2010, we have been collecting camera trap data with the aim of assessing trends and changes in species distribution and abundance within the park. Our study is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of the park's wildlife populations and their habitats.

We have collected camera trap data from 2010 to 2021, and we are currently in the process of analyzing this data in order to gain insights into the park's wildlife populations and habitats. Our analysis will include monitoring changes in species distribution and abundance, as well as assessing the health of the park's habitats. We are excited to be in the process of analyzing the data we have collected, as we believe it will provide valuable insights into the health and well-being of the wildlife populations and habitats of Mole National Park. 

We are committed to conducting thorough and scientifically rigorous research, and we look forward to sharing our findings with the scientific community and the general public once the data analysis process is complete.

In this study, I assessed the richness and relative abundance of mammal species at the Mole National Park, Ghana, using camera traps. Data collection was conducted over a total of 755 camera trap days at five trap stations in five sub-habitats within the park. The survey recorded a total of 2,893 independent photographs of 23 mammal species. 

Based on the photographic rate of mammal species, Hartebeest, Common Warthog, Kob, Waterbuck, Roan Antelope, Olive Baboon, African Buffalo, and African Elephant exhibited high relative abundance (capture rate). The presence of rare medium-large carnivores such as leopards, caracals, side-striped jackals, and spotted hyenas was also recorded at some sites, but at low capture rates.

The study saw higher abundance and richness in riparian forests and boval habitats than in others.
