A workshop in the summer is a traditional part of the VWG’s yearly program, aimed at surveying mammal species which are rare or absent in the Netherlands, and to extend and exchange knowledge of survey methods and species. Secondly, these workshops abroad aim to enlarge the knowledge of presence and abundance of mammals, and to a lesser extent of other fauna groups, in the area visited.
