Il Maremma Natural History MuseumIn partnership with ISPRA and the Ministry for Ecological Transition, is promoting a project aimed at creating a Integrated National Database of the wild cat (i.e. Felis DB) to collect all available data on the species in Italy (genetic data, morphometric and phenotypic data, camera trapping and remote sensing data, necropsy and pathogenic data, GPS data), combining historical data (such as the database created by Prof. Bernardino Ragni) with current ones.
Starting from the database and continuing with i telemetry detections, photographic shots, the collection of carcasses and biological samples aimed at genetic analysis, as well as the care of wounded specimens, the project aims to deepen the knowledge of the wild cat in Italy (source: ISPRA).
