Declining Planetary Health as a Driver of Camera Trap Studies: Insights from the Web of Science Database

Planetary health is crucial to human well-being, ecosystem sustainability, and biodiversity. The camera trap (CT) is an effective sampling tool used to monitor biodiversity through remote sensing. This study examines the potential drivers of CT research growth using a logistic model based on specific variables, including global gross domestic product (GDP), temperature growth, the declined living planet index (LPI), and human population growth (Pop), by referencing Web of Science (WoS) indexed publications. LPI was identified as a statistically significant driver (p-value
