To survey and monitor the wildlife which inhabit in mountainous regions of An’xi Extra-arid Desert National Nature Reserve, 20 infrared cameras were set from June 2012 to April 2013. During our monitoring, a total of 732 independent photographs (IP) were identified from 2517 animal photos. At least 25 species were identified which belonging to 15 families of 10 orders, including 8 species of mammals and 17 birds. The most common three mammals occurred on photos included ibex (Capra ibex), blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) and grass hare (Lepus capensis), and the most common three birds were red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax), rock pigeon (Columba rupestris rupestris) and chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar). Compared to traditional survey approach, infrared camera was powerful in the survey of the larger ungulata, the felidae and nocturnal animals, but not in the monitoring of small birds. We also found that most of the animals were shootin
