Merman Conservation Takes Over WildBehave – European Observatory of Wildlife Behavior Research and Conservation

We are proud to announce that Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd has officially obtained WildBehave – European Observatory of Wildlife Behavior Research and Conservation.

Following this integration, the WildBehave observatory will cease its independent operations. All ongoing projects, tools, and datasets, including the Universal Indicator Meter, are now fully managed and expanded by Merman Conservation.

Merman Conservation will continue and enhance the work of the observatory, turning citizen observations, field surveys, and advanced analytics into actionable insights on wildlife behaviour across Europe. The expanded platform provides measurable indicators of animal activity, movement patterns, habitat use, and stress levels, helping conservation teams detect ecological changes early and respond with science-based strategies.

Christos Taklis and the WildBehave team are credited for their pioneering work in creating the Universal Indicator Meter and establishing the foundational research. Merman Conservation is now leading the next phase of European wildlife behaviour research and conservation.

This transition marks a major step forward for wildlife protection and science-based conservation in Europe. Stay tuned for new updates from the field, data releases, and opportunities to participate in the expanded European wildlife behaviour network.
