That’s a solid starting point. Tracking animal movement gives you real‑world signals about where the ecosystem is comfortable. I’d use those instinct‑based clues as a baseline, then layer in structured surveys—soil analysis, visitor counts, and impact studies. The key is to combine the natural evidence with a clear plan that keeps both wildlife and people safe. It’s all about turning those tracks into data that fits into a broader, measurable framework.

You’re right—without reliable data the whole map can go off track. That’s why we set up a continuous monitoring loop: sensor checkpoints, periodic recapture of the trail data, and a quick feedback channel to update the plan if the tracks change. It keeps the evidence straight and the plan responsive.
