To verify what are the environmental characteristics that may be important for the survival and dispersal of the partridge introduced, the Mezzano is fine mapping the existing habitats within a radius of 1 km from the pre-acclimatization enclosures. The data that is collected concerns the type of environment, the agricultural crops present, their state of maturity, the presence and possibly the height of the hedges and trees.
All this information will be compared with the survival of the animals and will be used to obtain useful information on upcoming reintroduction interventions.
