Terrestrial mammal legislation and derogation licences
ECOFACT staff are experts in relation to surveys, protection legislation, derogation licences and impact assessment and mitigation for terrestrial mammals. Terrestrial mammal protection legislation for both Ireland and Northern Ireland is outlined below.
Non-volant mammals
Non-volant mammal surveys: Non-volant terrestrial mammals are land based mammals that cannot fly, or all land based mammals excluding bats.
Our surveys follow methodology approved for use in Ireland, by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), and in Northern Ireland by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA).
