Trap Cameras Reveal Purulia's Biodiversity Thriller

Scientists set up special cameras in a forest in Purulia, West Bengal, to watch wild animals.

Over many months, these cameras took pictures and videos of many different animals, including deer, cats, bears, and even elephants.

Some of these animals, like a tiny wild cat and a brave honey badger, had never been seen in this area before.

The scientists are excited because this shows that the forest is home to many kinds of animals.

They want to protect these animals and their homes.

The forest in Purulia is special because it has hills, which makes it harder for people to turn it into farms.

This helps the animals live safely.

The scientists are working with the local people to teach them about the importance of protecting these animals.
