Opis projekta: 

Cilj projekta BIG PICTURE je podpreti prizadevanja evropskih, nacionalnih in regionalnih organizacij ter vključenih deležnikov za ohranjanje in upravljanje biotske raznovrstnosti z izboljšanjem njihovega dostopa do večjih količin podatkov o živalskih vrstah, ki trenutno niso zajete v obstoječih dostopnih bazah. Projekt problematiko obravnava s treh ključnih perspektiv, in sicer s človeške, tehnološke in analitične, ki na tem področju ustvarjajo tako imenovana ozka grla. S projektom bomo ustvarili niz orodij, ki bodo omogočila obsežno in učinkovito obdelavo, izmenjavo, analizo in uporabo podatkov. Podatki bodo zbrani z uporabo foto pasti (angleško “camera-traps” ali s kratico “CT”), neizvazivnim pristopom, ki je popularen, vendar še nedodelan. Orodja bodo povezala širšo družbo posameznikov, od profesionalnih znanstvenikov, državljanskih znanstvenikov in deležnikov. Ključni cilj je pripraviti evropsko rešitev, ki bo ustrezala evropskemu okolju (družbenemu, pravnemu, institucionalnemu, ekološkemu, tehnološkemu), vendar ima prenosno vrednost na druga okolja tudi zunaj Evrope.

Description:  

The goal of the BIG PICTURE project is to support the efforts of European, national, and regional organizations, as well as involved stakeholders, in preserving and managing biodiversity by improving their access to larger volumes of data on animal species that are currently not covered in existing accessible databases. The project addresses this issue from three key perspectives—human, technological, and analytical—which currently create so-called bottlenecks in this field. Through the project, we will develop a set of tools that will enable extensive and efficient processing, exchange, analysis, and use of data. The data will be collected using camera traps, a non-invasive approach that is popular but still underdeveloped. The tools will connect a broad community of individuals, including professional scientists, citizen scientists, and stakeholders. The key objective is to develop a European solution tailored to the European context (social, legal, institutional, ecological, technological), but which also has transferable value to other environments beyond Europe.
