We are a consortium of 4 research institutions supported by GBIF Portugal and Spain as well as the Renewables Grid Initiative, working together to develop a digital platform that integrates open data and scientific knowledge on wildlife mortality caused by electrocutions and collisions at energy and transport infrastructures.
Our main goals are to:
- Integrate and mobilize open-access data on wildlife mortality from energy and transport infrastructure.
- Create analytical tools to explore, analyze, and predict impacts, identifying high-risk areas and trends.
- Forecast effects on terrestrial vertebrate populations using robust modelling approaches.
- Deliver science-based and cost-effective mitigation guidance.
- Ensure transparency and foster collaboration through open access to data, tools, and findings.
Our key actions:
- Building a centralized, open-access platform to aggregate and standardize wildlife mortality data.
- Engaging stakeholders to promote data sharing, ensure quality control, and adoption of common standards.
- Developing analytical, predictive, and visualization tools to assess infrastructure impacts on wildlife.
- Integrating ecological and infrastructure spatial data to support planning and targeted mitigation.
- Promoting cross-border, interdisciplinary collaboration for wide usability and the long-term sustainability.
