Launch of the HABITRACK project!
We are excited to announce the launch of the HABITRACK project, a collaborative effort funded by the European Union under the HORIZON-CL6-2023-BIODIV-01-4 programme. This initiative focuses on improving conservation methods for huntable bird species listed in Annex II of the Birds Directive. Our consortium, consisting of seven partners from France, Czechia, Germany, and Finland, is working together to protect 14 declining bird species across Europe.
HABITRACK will gather crucial data on the breeding, migration, and wintering habitats of these birds through extensive GPS tagging. This innovative approach will enhance our understanding of habitat needs, guiding effective management and restoration efforts. By linking habitat needs with population trends and breeding performance, we strive to develop new methods for demographic modelling and provide actionable recommendations for habitat management.
