Summary
Primary data like occurrence, distribution range and size and ecological characteristics of the population are essential for the conservation and management of any species (Caughley, 1977; Williams et al., 2002). Population size or demographic changes can be used as an indicator when evaluating management success (Caughley, 1977; Williams et al., 2002). Therefore, understanding the different parameters of a population for a species is crucial for conservation action. Appropriate field techniques need to be employed to generate such data and need to be adapted to survey the target species.
