We undertake annual monitoring and surveys of wildlife and vegetation cover to help chart the changes happening under rewilding. Our baseline survey was undertaken in 2005, close to the start of the project. We also carry out surveys on specific species.\n\nThis is a live document page that will be updated as reports become available.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
