Manuel,

I'm a stream ecologist/fluvial geomorphologist but have run my sole
environmental consulting practice for the past 27 years.

I have fish and benthic macroinvertebate data and some terrestrial animal
data, but this might be a good resource for you:
<https://ecologicaldata.org/find-data>.

When the animal's population status or critical habitat is controversial, as
most tend to be, it can be difficult to get good data sets from the resource
agencies.

Let me know if I can help.

Rich
