The Texas Fauna Project is based on interviews with more than 220 biologists, ecologists, nature guides, wildlife managers, game wardens, hunters, veterinarians, outdoor writers, environmental lawyers and others who work to understand and conserve animals in the state. About 340 edited excerpts from these interviews are shown here in streaming audio recordings, along with corresponding scrolling transcripts. Transcripts for the full interviews can be read here, and the complete audio recordings can be heard here.
