This metadata publication presents a camera trap dataset collected for the Yasuni ForestGEO Project, in the 50-ha Forest Dynamics Plot at Yasuní Biological Station in the Orellana Province in Ecuador. This project follows the CTFS-ForestGEO Vertebrate Monitoring Protocol. Over the course of the project, 24 cameras were used in 49 deployments, resulting in 21,241 total images (8,951 identified wildlife images).
