Participants at a Motus workshop gather around a table in an outdoor setting, engaged in data recording and discussion. The table is covered with field guides, datasheets, color-coded antenna loops, and bird monitoring tools, indicating a hands-on training session related to wildlife tracking and telemetry. The group is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.
