        <abstract>
            This dataset compiles biodiversity data collected in
campaigns developed by Geólogos Asociados S.A. Geólogos Asociados S.A is the
environmental consultant who is in charge of the environmental and biodiversity
assessment in Total Austral´s Neuquén operational sites. 

The biodiversity campaigns mentioned are part of the
implementation of a Biodiversity Action Plan, a mandatory document which must
be designed for every TotalEnergies´ operational site. This document specifies
implementation actions with the objective of reducing the impacts on
biodiversity the company´s activities may produce. The actions involve
biodiversity monitoring, conservation and restoration. 

The information shown in this document corresponds to key,
endemic and category status´ species in an herpetofauna affectation study
survey. The objective of the survey was to monitor the response of the
community of herpetofauna to a local disturb associated to company activities.

                    <para>1) Affected habitat description and characterization 
2) Brief characterization of associated floristic elements.
3) Herpetofauna systematic sampling through surveying 16 1000m long and 100 m wide transects, associated to the disturbs which happened recently in the area.  
4) Herpetofauna systematic sampling through surveying 3 control transects, same length and width. These transects haven&apos;t suffered any disturbs and will serve as comparison as they are located mirrored to those who have suffered disturbs, as well as describe all the descripted habitats. 
5) Transect mapping, GPS spot (reptile register), affected habitats
6) Field validation of the mapped environments 
7) Notable ecological attributes georeferencing</para>
