Species monitoring is the process of regularly and systematically collecting data on a particular species to track their population trends, behavior, habitat use, and other relevant factors. This information is crucial for conservation efforts, as it helps researchers and organizations understand the status of a species and make informed decisions on how to protect and manage their populations effectively. Monitoring may involve various methods such as field observations, camera traps, satellite tracking, and genetic analysis to gather data on species abundance, distribution, and health. By monitoring species over time, we can assess threats, changes in habitat, and the effectiveness of conservation measures to ensure the long-term survival of species in their natural environment.
