Knowledge about population size and trend can be highly relevant for wildlife management decisions. This project is repeated every year to compile data to follow population trends for local management and conservation. Distance sampling is a useful method to obtain a reliable estimate of density and abundance in wild populations. We would like to make use of line transects. However, different methods need to be applied to note animals that are less often seen. Tracks and pellets or road detections can be useful for this. Bear in mind that this expedition can only run if there are a minimum of four volunteers helping. Therefore, propose your friends to come with you!
Apply together - we are looking forward to it!
