Through the use of common standards & metadata, we are able to combine & compare different wildlife data from across Europe. This results in an unmatched geographic coverage, creating a stronger evidence base for disease surveillance, risk assessment and wildlife management across Europe.

Understanding #wildlife populations requires combining information from many complementary sources. Hunting statistics, citizen science and camera trapping each provide a different part of a bigger picture. Harmonization of data is key to making the different data comparable.

No single monitoring method is sufficient on its own. Every dataset matters for #WildlifeMonitoring. Together, they become something far more powerful. 👉🧵

We have been encouraging the continuous creation & collection of standardized data at pan-European scale. Join us! Report animal sightings via the iMammalia app: mammalnet.com/de/imammalia Join the network of standardized camera trapping: wildlifeobservatory.org/join-the-eow

If we collect wildlife data year after year using common standards and protocols, regional observations become long-term evidence at European scale that helps us identify the info needed for the #OneHealth approach.

100

Wildlife populations are constantly changing in response to environmental conditions, disease, management practices and human activities. And they do that across borders, which necessitates pan-European collaboration and standardization.

A single year's data is a snapshot. Long-term data reveal a trend. #WildlifeMonitoring👉🧵

We verify the continental density estimates we obtain with our standardized and verified hunting statistics & citizen science data with density estimates from standardized camera trapping from different locations across Europe.

We combine the broad geographical coverage of standardised hunting statistics (+their meta data) & expert verified citizen science data with more robust estimates of wildlife abundance and population trends.

Hunting bag data and citizen science observations are important for #WildlifeMonitoring. They bring broad geographic coverage! We can't set up camera traps everywhere. 👉🧵

In different countries and regions, wildlife populations are monitored using different methods, standards and reporting systems. This makes it difficult to compare monitoring data across borders, and we can’t understand population dynamics or the spread of diseases across borders reliably.

ENETWILD @enetwild.com · 10/09/2026

Wildlife doesn't recognise borders. #WildlifeMonitoring shouldn't either. But for that, wildlife monitoring across Europe has to be harmonized. 👉🧵

Europe needs a shared framework for wildlife data. The proposed Hunting Data Model links national systems, ensures quality, and enables real-time analysis, turning fragmented efforts into coordinated action. Learn more: zenodo.org/records/16281457 #WildlifeManagement

Misreporting is rarely random. Trust, motivation, and feedback impact data quality. Transparent systems that return feedback build stronger collaboration and better data. Learn more: zenodo.org/records/16281457 #WildlifeManagement

000

At the European level, shared and standardised data connect national efforts into a single picture. Wildlife has no borders, so neither should data.

000

Policymakers rely on consistent, comparable data to guide wildlife management and align with EU goals. Without harmonisation, policies can’t match the realities on the ground.

100

Data managers transform thousands of local reports into national and EU-wide datasets. But with every layer of aggregation there is a risk of losing precision. Better metadata and harmonised structures can change that.

Hunting bag data. Hunters are an important source of wildlife data. But participation depends on trust and knowing that their data is used transparently. Same data, though, different views 👉🧵
