Abstract:
QBS uses indicator animal groups - dung beetles, bats, small mammals, primates, birds - in addition to plants. The animal groups can be modified depending on their importance in the locality but the survey technique should be maintained for consistency and data comparison. The entire field work can be conducted in two weeks while the species identification should be done in consultation with experts. A local guide who is knowledgeable about local plants and animals is necessary for the field work. Indicator animals and plants are surveyed along 1 km long transects; the layout and frequency of sample points are determined by the animal groups being surveyed. Time and other resource permitting, the number of transects can be increased to improve the accuracy of survey data. In general, the survey, identification, data analysis and reporting can be completed in about six weeks.
