WildCount is a large state-wide monitoring program in New South Wales, Australia, to examine changes in wildlife species distributions over time using camera trapping data from 200 sites. The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage contracted Proteus to review and comment on the initial proposal, and provide advice on sample size considerations. Since the programme was implemented in 2012, the team at Proteus have periodically helped with the analysis of the data using occupancy models that account for the imperfect detection of many of these species.
