A total of 20 sites were surveyed for terrestrial vertebrate fauna using a range of survey methods. Thirteen sites have prior monitoring through the Three Parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network which involved sampling at 5-6 year intervals at 220 plots established from 1996 – 2002. Seven sites have no prior monitoring. In 2017/18 a paired plot design was implemented at all sites, involving the duplication of some but not all survey methods at a second plot directly adjacent to the traditional plot. Cage and Elliott traps were operated at plot 1 (the traditional plot at those sites with prior sampling). Three pit traps were installed and operated within both plot 1 and plot 2. In addition, two funnel traps were installed on each pit trap.
