Mapping

Mapping forms the basis of any nature conservation assessment. The recording of certain animal groups must be standardised and carried out by expert personnel. The current mapping guidelines already provide a standardised procedure for recording certain animal groups. Nevertheless, knowledge of the relevant species is irreplaceable, as is an understanding of their behavioural patterns and the traces they leave behind in their habitats. The presence of feeding traces or obviously utilised (tree) burrows can identify a species just as much as the sight of the animal itself.

We regularly carry out mapping of FFH-relevant vertebrates in accordance with current mapping guidelines.

In the field of insects, we specialise in butterflies and offer both day and night moth mapping. We map and process other animal groups on request and in co-operation with other experts.
