Many terrestrial mammal species, both in Ireland and Northern Ireland, are protected by both national and EU level legislation.
- For more information on the legal aspects of mammal protection, please see our mammal protection legislation page.
ECOFACT have all the necessary skills and experience to cover mammal survey and mitigation works for protected species including; bat surveys, badger surveys, otter surveys and any other protected mammals that may be an issue for a proposed development.
We can also apply for derogation licences, and have extensive experience in providing mitigation such as artificial bat roots, badger setts, and otter holts. We have extensive experience in reaching agreements with NPWS and NIEA staff on such matters.
