Principles for the Danish biomonitoring programme

Abstract

A national programme for monitoring wildlife and its habitats has been set up in Denmark, the background being decades of severe environmental problems and degradation. The aims is to obtain a minimal coverage of the dominant types of landscapes, supplemented by special attention to endangered species and habitats. Collaboration with other institutions and amateur organizations has been given high priority.
