Our publication provides a dataset from long-term camera-trap monitoring in the Peneda-Gerês National Park between 2015 and 2021. We established a 16 km² grid of 64 cameras deployed yearly during the summer months. Together with this publication, we publish the data and images collected between 2015 and 2021, using both the Camtrap DP standard and the GBIF Darwin Event Core. We obtained a total of 934,810 pictures on 41,234 trap nights. The pictures were automatically grouped into sequences with each sequence representing a distinct occurrence event, resulting in 80,191 occurrences. Out of those, 14,442 contained observations of a species, while the remaining were either blank or the species was not identifiable. We only obtained the information whether a species was present or absent on a picture, disregarding the number of individuals. Most observations were of domestic cattle (<i>Bostaurus</i>) and horses (<i>Equuscaballus</i>), followed by European roe deer (<i>Capreoluscapreolus</i>) and wild boar <i>(Susscrofa</i>). Further observations include red fox (<i>Vulpesvulpes</i>), gray wolf (<i>Canislupus</i>), Eurasian badger (<i>Melesmeles</i>), stone marten (<i>Martesfoina</i>), common genet (<i>Genettagenetta</i>), Iberian ibex (<i>Caprapyrenaica</i>) and red deer (<i>Cervuselaphus</i>). We estimated occupancy and densities for the most common species. The project is on-going and additional data will be included in the future. The dataset is freely available for ecological analysis, but also for training machine-learning systems in automated image classification as all pictures have been manually classified.
