Intergrated Wildlife Monitoring
Intergrated Wildlife Monitoring is data collected for different taxa in a standardised automated way and provides detailed analytics that help landowners and managers understand how biodiversity is changing in response to their activities. Exploring the taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity of land enables a more holistic understanding of biodiversity, as well as providing targeted recommendations for management to improve biodiversity.
We use AudioMoth devices to listen at both audio and ultrasonic frequencies They are used in multiple applications, including searching for species primarily bats and birds, monitoring and identification. The data collected is extremely valuable in determining the species composition of a site, allowing for improved assessments of the habitat's condition and diversity.
Trail cameras are used to give a general idea of what larger mammals use the site for feeding, nesting and day to day activity.
