A trilogy of guidelines on estimation of wild mammals population abundance and density for its application in Europe has been published by ENETWILD project funded by EFSA These guidelines include recommendations for selecting methods to estimate abundance or density and its implementations for ungulate, carnivore and wild boar populations are provided. Methods for generating a … Read more
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 … Read more
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 … Read more
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 … Read more
Risk assessment, risk analysis and risk management require reliable (high quality) wild population data, which are not available so far. This project, funded by EFSA, is aimed at mapping wildlife species in Europe that are relevant for pathogens transmitted to animals and humans. The objectives that ENETWILD will develop during next phases are focused on … Read more
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) … Read more
During the next few weeks there will be some meetings where wildlife, but especially wild boar, will play an important role in these congresses. In September, European Wildlife Disease Association organizes the 13th EWDA Conference 27 – 31 August 2018 Larissa, Thessaly, Greece The European Wildlife Disease Association (EWDA) seeks to provide a forum for the … Read more
