Many terrestrial mammal species, both in Ireland and Northern Ireland, are protected by both national and EU level legislation.
Veon Ecology provides a range of terrestrial mammal survey, assessment and mitigation works for all species of conservation importance in Ireland and protected species that may be resident within the area of a proposed development.
