wildlife surveys
Fauna population assessments
Wildlife surveys are systematic efforts to count, locate, or monitor animal populations in their natural habitats.
Biologists conduct wildlife surveys to track endangered species, assess ecosystem health, or guide conservation decisions.
Methods range from aerial counts and camera traps to bird banding and acoustic monitoring: The wildlife survey documented a 30% decline in the local elk population.
