The main results expected from implementation of this Project are:

• Increase in the Iberian desman population.
• Public understanding and awareness of the Iberian desman as a biological indicator.
• Thorough fact finding about the distribution, biology, behaviour and genetic resources of the species, and determination of the causes for population regression in the area.
• Establishment measures to avoid and reduce activity of predators in the same environment.
• Conservation of the species as a guarantee for sustainable use of water in natural courses and its quality.
• Identification of non-natural threats, palliative effects and species mechanisms.
• Improvement in the state of conservation of the habitats in Sites of Community Interest (SCI) and those that are a high priority for the Iberian desman.
• Setting up of a permanent tracking network.
• Drawing up of maps showing risks to high priority desman habitats.
• Establishment of the basis for a recovery strategy for the Iberian desman and its habitats as biological indicators of water and biodiversity quality.
• Establishment of the basis for relocating animals.
• Recognition by administrations that the presence of the desman is a biological indicator when they carry out management of activities within their powers.
• Improvement of aquatic species and species that share the same habitat, not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of biodiversity, by improving the food chain.
