The Texas Fauna Project is based on interviews with more than 230 biologists, ecologists, teachers, nature guides, wildlife managers, game wardens, hunters, veterinarians, outdoor writers, environmental lawyers and others based in over 120 towns. Each works to understand and conserve animals in the state. As samples, roughly 350 edited excerpts from the full interviews are shown here in streaming audio recordings, along with corresponding scrolling transcripts. Transcripts for the full interviews can be read here, complete audio recordings can be heard here, and the entire set of audio excerpts can be seen and searched on this YouTube channel.
