What do you do when a protected species is present, but almost never seen? Some animals aren’t rare because they’re disappearing — they’re rare because that’s how they live. This article explores why monitoring elusive species like the spotted whip snake breaks traditional conservation methods, and how we learned to listen to faint ecological signals instead of chasing impossible numbers.

In 2025, our team completed the latest chapter of a decade-long effort to protect Telestes souffia, tagging 30 adult individuals in the Bregana River using BIOMARK PIT technology. Each fish was gently anesthetised, measured, weighed, and fitted with an 8 mm microchip to enable long-term tracking of survival and movement in its last Croatian habitat. The work builds on earlier studies, including the 2017 research that documented a small and declining population, underscoring the urgency of continued monitoring. With new data now collected, updated 2025 population estimates are on the way — and hope for the species continues to flow with the Bregana.
