Biodiversity
More than 440 species entries in a preliminary field report.
Five researchers surveyed the 578 ha farm for 14 days in February 2026.
From 5–19 February 2026, five researchers surveyed Ostrolenka Farm using direct observation, night drives, tracks and signs, camera traps, birding surveys, vegetation documentation and selected traps. Their preliminary report records more than 440 species entries.
Why the site says “more than 440”
The report narrative states a total of 445, while its printed category table sums to 444. Until the compiler confirms that one-entry discrepancy, this website uses the accurate conservative wording “more than 440”.
A preliminary snapshot, not a promise
The report itself says the list is not definitive and that weather, season, survey effort and chance affect what is observed. A listed species is evidence of a survey record, not a guarantee that a guest will see it.
