LANL biologists implement various monitoring programs to protect wildlife and support different objectives of the biological resources program.
- Compliance Monitoring: Threatened and endangered species surveys are required and conducted under the LANL Habitat Management Plan and our federal permits for the federally protected species.
- Long-term Monitoring: Long-term data sets allow LANL biologists to make inferences about population and biodiversity trends through time and space to assess LANL’s impact on wildlife.
- Short-term Monitoring: Short-term datasets are often required to answer specific research questions and provide targeted management recommendations.
