The Texas Fauna Project includes interviews with more than 240 biologists, ecologists, teachers, nature guides, wildlife managers, game wardens, hunters, veterinarians, outdoor writers, environmental lawyers and others based in over 120 towns. Each narrator works to understand and conserve animals in the state. As samples, roughly 360 3-4 minute excerpts from the full interviews are shared 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.
