Can we collect wildlife data across Europe in a standardised way? Yes, and Massimo Scandura is one of the experts involved in our project who is doing exactly that.  He coordinates data generation through the initiative “European Observatory of Wildlife”. #WildlifeMonitoring

Collaboration between researchers & hunters is crucial for #wildlife management. A recent meeting with 13 French hunting federations highlighted this once again. At the meeting, we had the pleasure to introduce our protocols for data collection & density estimation.

What are barriers to data harmonisation & how can we improve transnational wildlife monitoring? We evaluated different collection systems of hunting bag data across Europe to understand more on above questions. Read up on our findings in our report 👇 https://zenodo.org/records/16281457 #OneHealth

We need to move towards coordinated, science-based #WildlifeManagement that unites actors & standardizes methods.  At ENETWILD we are determined to contribute to this shift. https://enetwild.com/

While most wildlife management actions across Europe remain local & apply informal decision processes, many people are already active.  Now it is time to take the next steps: Moving towards coordinated, science-based wildlife management that unites actors, and standardizes methods.

#Wildlife doesn’t recognise borders, and neither should our efforts to understand & manage it. To help protect wildlife & to reduce human conflicts involving wildlife, we need to understand - across borders - how species interact, and how they are affected by environmental and human factors.

🌿 Sustainable #WildlifeManagement is about more than controlling population numbers. It’s about understanding & addressing impacts before they reach unacceptable levels. Too often, decisions are made locally & reactively rather than resulting from a planned, long-term policy.

Wildlife management in Europe involves many players. This creates a complex landscape where decisions must balance science, social, economic realities, & public acceptance.  Efforts to manage wildlife are not standardized, despite a real need for collaborative approaches.

#WildlifeMonitoring doesn’t just shed light on ecological & epidemiological processes.  The collected and analysed data is essential to understand ecological relationships and forms the foundation for science-based decision making that supports wildlife, habitats, and society.

Wildlife management isn't just about protecting endangered species; it also involves managing common species and livestock in human-dominated areas.  These efforts support biodiversity and help reduce infectious diseases, benefiting wildlife, domestic animals, and humans. #OneHealth

Wildlife management is not just about protecting endangered species or preserving natural reserves.  It’s also about managing common and agricultural species across farmlands, urban areas, and beyond. This helps to safeguard biodiversity and to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.  #OneHealth

Protecting Europe’s wildlife means protecting our shared future 👥🐖🐗 Wildlife provides balance and stability to natural processes and that benefits us all, form nature to livestock to people.  That’s why wildlife management is important.

Nature doesn’t follow local rules, so why should wildlife policy? ENETWILD is building a shared, science-based approach to monitoring across Europe to reduce conflict, protect ecosystems & support public health.  #WildlifeMonitoring #WildlifePolicy #WildlifeManagement #AnimalWelfare

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Data gaps make it hard to assess risks or develop proactive strategies, so we’re left reacting rather than preventing crisis. If we want to manage wildlife sustainably, we need to start with a clearer picture.  #WildlifeMonitoring #WildlifeManagement

Cross-border collaboration is essential to effective #WildlifeMonitoring. That’s why we are proud to support Snapshot Europe 2024 with standardized camera trap data from our European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW) initiative.  https://www.ab.mpg.de/609321/snapshot-europe-2024

Wildlife moves across borders, so our policies should too. Fragmented monitoring limits how we manage risks, conflicts & biodiversity. To protect ecosystems & livelihoods, Europe needs a shared approach.  #WildlifeMonitoring #WildlifeProtection #WildlifeManagement #AnimalWelfare

A racoon in the Easter Pyrenees? 🦝 Our partners at CIRAD made what appears to be the first documented sighting of a racoon in the region; a concerning observation from a #conservation perspective.  They are currently working on capturing clearer images using baits. #WildlifeMonitoring

Avian intestinal spirochaetosis in poultry isn’t just a bird issue, it’s a zoonotic risk. More research is needed to uncover how spirochetes impact both animal and human health, finds this new review paper 👇 #OneHealth

#OneHealth connects animal, human and environmental wellbeing. 🐖🔄👨👧👦🔄🌍 🎥 Watch our short explainer to understand how it all fits together.

Understanding how quickly diseases might spread in wildlife is important to control emerging diseases. Graham Smith and his team predict wildlife distribution & abundance, but have also developed the citizen science app iMammalia & a web platform for people to upload images from camera traps.

Monitoring how wildlife behaves from multiple angles, sounds and contexts? That's what MammAlp is doing in the Swiss Alps using AI. phys.org/news/2025-06... #WildlifeMonitoring #CameraTraps

Scientists at EPFL have created MammAlps, a multi-view, multi-modal video dataset that captures how wild mammals behave in the Swiss Alps. A game-changer for wildlife monitoring and conservation efforts. #MammAlps #WildlifeMonitoring #Conservation #DataScience #SwissAlps #Science t.co/MRZ5DIX2sf

Collaboration with local actors is a key element of our work that partners like Andrei Mihalca successfully manage. His team and him from University of Agricultural Sciences & Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca connect ENETWILD with Romanian hunters, hunters’ associations & political actors.

We promote #OpenScience to advance #Wildlife research Therefore we're going to share summarised data from our initiative European Observatory of Wildlife on Zenodo: density estimates + precision rates & confidence intervals metadata (period of implementation, coordinates & No of monitoring days)
