Badger Monitoring

Badger monitoring involves tracking and studying badger populations and their habitats to understand their behaviors, health, and conservation status. This typically includes observing setts (burrow systems), conducting surveys, and using techniques like camera traps or environmental DNA sampling. The goal is to gather data that helps protect badgers, manage their populations sustainably, and mitigate conflicts with human activities such as farming or development. Effective monitoring provides insights into badger movements and health, supporting informed decisions to promote their conservation and ensure ecological balance.
