Having information about the status and developments of animal populations is essential for effectively implementing wildlife conservation efforts. To calculate the abundance and density of large mammals, we first analyzed line-transect and camera-trap data from Türkiye, using distance sampling methods, and compared the results with previous studies. In this study, conducted on a known population in the same area, the population densities and numbers obtained were similar to those reported in earlier studies. Overall, the density and population estimates derived from the LTDS method suggest that the species maintains a robust population in the field and actively utilizes its habitat. The CTDS analysis results indicate that the species' presence in the region is continuous but irregularly distributed in space. Additionally, when evaluating the standard errors and confidence intervals, both models provided statistically adequate precision, and the results are reliable and acceptable for ecological inference. This study will make significant contributions to monitoring and strengthening wild goat populations, which are under threat and form the basis for future conservation strategies.
