Background: Wildlife monitoring is a critical component of biodiversity conservation, especially in regions like Oman, where ecological challenges and human-induced threats endanger various species. Camera traps have become invaluable tools for capturing wildlife activity, producing large volumes of image data over time. However, manually analyzing these images is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. Accurate species detection and recognition are essential for informing effective conservation strategies, yet traditional methods of reviewing images present limitations.
