From October to November 2021, we used camera traps to collect mammal diversity and distributions along the elevational gradients at the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve. We retrived images of 262 camera traps placed between May 2021 and October 2021. We obtained 12391 pictures of wild animals,41 species of large and medium mammals were recorded.. The camera traps were reset in the same locations after renew batteries and memory cards.Camera trap data could inventory endangered species in the region, and provide information to identify biodiversity hotspots and conservation priorities.
