Faunistic studies
Wildlife conservation through monitoring, analysis and corrective measures
Every day of the year it is possible to find TAXUS professionals working in the field. We currently have experts in mammals, herpetofauna, avifauna, chiroptera, ichthyofauna and insects, who work every day to obtain the best possible information on numerous species and then try to define the best measures for their necessary conservation.
