Wildlife monitoring is the practice of observing and studying animal behavior in their natural habitats and provides valuable insights into population dynamics, and distribution of various species. The aim of wildlife monitoring in the Eco2adapt project is to evaluate how wildlife effect  forest  resilience.  Wildlife  caused  damages  on  tree  regeneration  limits  the  natural recovery processes, tree species richness and stand structural complexity. Forest regeneration requires specific environmental, especially light, conditions that are often met in forest gaps. Vytautas  Magnus  University  has  established  a  wildlife  monitoring  network  in  the  Dzukija National Park Living Lab (DNPLL) to track how large and medium size herbivore mammals use different sized forest gap and clearcuts. It is expected the study will cover a gradient of forest landscapes throughout Europe.
