Fauna Group Goals

As part of Mission 2006's general goal to develop ways to characterize and monitor the well-being of the Amazon Basin rainforest and devise methods of preservation, the Fauna Group will first categorize fauna and develop exemplary case studies. Within each of these studies we will define basic requirements for healthy fauna populations by identifying appropriate indicators of population health. We will then proceed to identify threats to the fauna of the rainforest and attempt to develop strategies that will lessen these threats while also developing strategies to monitor fauna population health.
