ENETWILD Camera trap Course
Camera trapping for monitoring wildlife and density estimation course 2020 September Training Course The ENETWILD Project (www.enetwild.com) initiated its way about 3 years ago. By then, the harmonized use of comparable (standardized) data on the distribution and abundance of wildlife in Europe, particularly mammals, was hardly possible. ENETWILD approach, as a pioneer pilot initiative, has […]

ENETWILD Workshop at IUGB 34th Conference
The IUGB (International Union of Game Biologists) is an international non-profit organisation whose aims are to promote the improvement of knowledge about game biology and any other skill related to wildlife, such as wise use of animal populations and the conservation of their habitats. IUGB is also a platform that allows networking between its Members. […]
ASF STOP Training school on the use of camera trapping for monitoring wild boar populations
IREC, Ciudad Real Spain 11-13th June 2019 ASF STOP ACTION The ASF-STOP COST Action tackles the main challenge of stopping ASF from further spread in Europe and protecting the European pig industry. Its main objective of ASF-STOP is to improve, integrate, translate, transfer and communicate knowledge of ASF in domestic pigs and wild boar in […]
How hunting statistics are collected in Europe?
The organisation and collection of wildlife hunting statistics and their analysis is essential not only for hunting management but also for developing wildlife policies. On a large spatial scale hunting data statistic are available and, potentially, comparable across Europe for use in the predictive spatial modelling of wild boar abundance. But the procedures, methods and […]
Experts against the proposal to depopulate Wild Boar in Poland
Collected more than 1000 signatures of experts against the government measure The scientific data and recommendations suggest a complex and adaptive strategy to combat ASF, assuming variable intensity of methods for managing wild boar populations depending on the disease epidemic phase in a given area and the distance from the infected area. However, the strategy […]
Wild Birds on ENETWILD focus
The ENETWILD Consortium, coordinates numerous leading European institutions in the ecology and epidemiology of European wildlife (www.enetwild.com). Its main objective is to collect information on the geographical distribution and abundance of populations of wild species relevant to infectious diseases that also represent a risk to the health of domestic species and human. Avian influenza is […]
Guidance to estimate wild boar density
Recently, ENETWILD released a practical guidance to estimate wild boar population, relative abundance and density. The guidance is based on literature review as well as previous experiences from ENETWILD partners and external experts. DOWNLOAD COMPLETE GUIDANCE The general aim of this guidance was to review the accuracy and comparability of methods to estimate relative abundance […]
Collecting data on wild boar abundance across Europe
Release of a model to collect data on wild boar distribution and abundance across Europe: the need for data standards The Consortium ENETWILD (established through a framework contract funded by EFSA) is focusing on the collection of wild boar abundance and occurrence data for the analysis of the risk factors of African Swine Fever (ASF) […]
