enetwild.com A European network of wildlife professionals able to provide data on the distribution and abundance of host species and their pathogens.
• On several occasions EFSA has been requested to assess risks related to animal diseases for which wildlife are hosts • Repeatedly, a lack of data on the geographical distribution and abundance of the wildlife hosts has hampered the assessments • Compiling valid information on abundance and distribution of wildlife species is needed, following harmonised methods and filtered by standards of quality
1. To collect existing published or unpublished data on the geographical
distribution and abundance of selected wildlife hosts, to validate and to
aggregate them in a harmonized way in a common database
2. To promote and coordinate the generation of new data
3. Spatial Modelling
4. To further enhance the network of wildlife professionals to support data
collection activities

OBJECTIVES
• Assess the feasibility of the application of Citizen
Science in wildlife monitoring at European level
• Provide information on possible limitations, benefits
and added value
• as well as on best practices promoting data quality
and participation.
• Propose and implement a method to assess the quality of
data collected by citizen scientists on the geographical
distribution and abundance of wild populations and
compare it with professionally collected data

DATOS
ValidaciónPremisas:
1) Adapt/improve existing applications
2) Promote applications focused on
mammal data collection
3) Data to be submitted openly to GBIF
1. Researchers and WilLife
managers
2. Citizens in contact with
nature
3. MOOC for managers,
educators, students
3 specific projects to promote open science and citizen
participationFree mobile app (different languages) • For citizens • Record and share mammal sightings or clues • With guides for easy identification • Access to maps, own and other users' records • Data is shared on GBIF
iMammalia
ROL: Trapper &/or Spotter
MammalWeb
A web platform aimed at citizens (e.g. naturalists,
hunters) where they can;
• Share your own photo-trapping images
• Help identify the images of other users.
• Information is verified by experts, citizens and
shared on GBIFAGOUTI
Web application Useful for estimating distribution and number
of species
• Aimed at researchers and wildlife managers with:
Surveys with photo-trapping cameras
Facilitates the identification of images and sequences
Management of the information obtained by the cameras
• It allows the creation of individual projects with :
- Possibility of collaborative participation
- Different roles according to the type of user (from
Principal Investigator to Volunteer)
The information is collected in a standardized way and can be
made available to the scientific community through GBIF

CONCLUDING, IN OUR EXPERIENCE ……………… • EFSA is motivated, explore new topics and wills to evaluating new approaches for data collection: CS • Project calls projects • Is a contract • Visibility and collaboration with other networks
