What do we compare the forest changed by observation against?

Civilisational assumption
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
Assume that installing and maintaining devices to record ecological relationships in fine detail changes the environment of living things. Leaving some areas unobserved allows that effect to be compared, but risks missing important changes. To detect rare changes, how widely and how often should the observation network run?

The options
The order shown is not a ranking of preference.
The situation as it stands
The assumed device can record very broad ecological relationships, but its installation and maintenance also affect the organisms' environment. Deadline: within 18 months, before the new observation network commitment.
A synthetic matter set in the future, 2135 · If the movement of all life is recorded, forests without observation disappear. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not forecasts of what is coming or observed facts.
- Premise 1The assumed device can record very broad ecological relationships, but its installation and maintenance also affect the organisms' environment.
- Premise 2Full recording can find rare changes, but there may be no space left to compare the impact of observation itself.
- Premise 3Leaving unobserved zones makes comparison possible, but important changes there may be detected late.
Where it holdsAn assumed dense observation, intervention, unobserved space
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1The actual impact of installing and maintaining the devices
- Unknown 2The minimum change detectable even without observation
- Unknown 3How much the additional information from whole-area observation would change the decision
Signals to decide again
- Decide what observations, responsible persons, and confirmation channels can verify "the actual impact of installing and maintaining the devices," and re-judge if a new confirmation changes the trade-offs of the options.
- Decide what observations, responsible persons, and confirmation channels can verify "the minimum change detectable even without observation," and re-judge if a new confirmation changes the trade-offs of the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
A comparison showed that the frequency of a certain behavior changed only where the devices were present.
An important change in an unrecorded zone was discovered belatedly.
