German term or phrase: Begang
Study of capercaillies in the Bavarian State Forest National Park (so there)!

Could "Begänge" just mean "counts/tallies" or "population studies"?

In systematischen Begängen und durch Kartierung aller Zufallsbeobachtungen lassen sich die Habitate der Tiere erfassen. Zu ihrem Schutz gilt im Zentralbereich ihres Vorkommens ein striktes Wegegebot, um Störungen durch Besucher zu minimieren.
