Wildlife survey suggests quenk numbers low

Wildlife survey suggests quenk numbers low Saturday 19 December 2020 Wildlife biologist and lecturer in ecology at the University of the West Indies Dr Luke Rostant has said, from the results of a national wildlife survey, he believes special attention should be paid to the pecari tajacu – otherwise known as quenk – as numbers of the species in monitored areas are noticeably low. Rostant was speaking at a virtual presentation of the survey hosted by the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) on Thursday. The country-wide survey and census from 2014-2018 was the first national study to focus on five species of game: deer, agouti, lappe, tatou and the quenk. The study formed part of the Nariva Swamp Restoration, Carbon Sequestration and Livelihoods Project launched by the EMA in 2010.
