From January to June in 2014,surveillances by infrared camera(type Ltl-6210)were applied to monitor the wildlife movement along a country road in Guanyinshan National Nature Reserve.The result showed that a total of 7mammal species were photographed,which are Budorcas taxicolor,Capricornis sumatraensis,Felis bengalensis,Paguma larvata,Mustela sibirica,Martes flavigula and Canis familiaris.Corridor utilization by wildlife is analyzed based on a Relative Effective Index(REI).The highest rate of REI in the 7 mammal species is Budorcas taxicolor with the proportion reaching36.17%.REI among wildlife differs very significantly(p<0.01).The high frequency of utilization by wildlife is concentrated in the period between Cungou to Liangfengya.the Use of bridge for migration is superior to the gentle slopes(p<0.01).In terms of temporal aspect,January is highly used by wildlife crossing,which is about 41.67% and Jule March is less used,which is 5.0%,reflecting a cyclical pattern.Through retrofitting the bridge and culvert,building roadbed slope,setting the signage and so on,the migration of wildlife through the corridor on both sides of the road was promoted effectively.
