• the identification of areas for habitat protection,
• the enhancement of the carrying capacity of a given or designated habitat for distinctive and monitor species, especially herps,
• the measures to obtain self-sufficiency and/or minimum care necessity for a given area.

Advice has been rendered for Mauritius e.g. (Phelsuma guentheri – second population), California (Uma scoparia – protection of aeolic sands near Palm Springs), Rhineland – Palatinate (emerald lizard, sand lizard, wall lizards, smooth snake), Northrhine-Westphalia (sand lizard, common lizard), Hessen (crested newt, yellow-bellied toad, natterjack toad, green toad, wall liazrds).

The advice is based on 60+ years of experience with herps and their biota.
