| Summary | Arboreal mammals and herptiles are selected to indicator species in environmental assessment and become objects of estimation and evaluation on environmental impact. Environmental protection measures are necessary as a result of evaluation and estimation. However, it is difficult that environmental protection measures are selected because scientific knowledge about salamander habitat is scarce. Therefore, material and structure were tested to develop over bridge for arboreal mammals, and habitat evaluation techniques and monitoring methodology for amphibians were identified using microchips. |
