Zoological research
The focus of zoological research is primarily based on the guiding goal of Kalkalpen National Park – Wilderness & Biodiversity. In addition, zoological data are also needed for species with supra-regional nature conservation relevance (nationwide and international nature conservation). However, the task of securing the natural development of species and habitats in the long term under environmental conditions that are as close to nature as possible remains central. This ensures that evolution can take place under natural conditions in the wilderness zone.
