Wildlife Monitoring & Management
EAS offers a wide range of services supporting wildlife research, management, and monitoring efforts. These activities involve studying the life history characteristics of mammals, passerine birds, raptors, reptiles, amphibians, mollusks and other macro-invertebrates, fish, and waterfowl in relation to their habitats.
Our work includes:
- designing wildlife studies
- capturing, tagging, and tracking wildlife
- interpreting, reporting, and presenting results and recommendations
