Abstract: This book presents the results of the work they have undertaken their authors with the support of the Social Work of Caja Segovia. Over a year has monitored a total of 38 wildlife passages and other structures transverse (drainage and multifunctional steps) using two methods: recording tracks on a base of marble dust and imaging cameras through connected to infrared sensors. The authors have reported 18 different species or groups using the structures, highlighting the rabbit and hare. Could not detect the movement of wild boar or deer. From the results, the authors conducted a series of recommendations for conducting future monitoring, to correct deficiencies identified in the study reach and to improve the design and location of wildlife passages.
