Campaign to promote participation and collection of complete lists in Latvia
LatvianOrnithology Society (LOS), developed in the framework of LIFE EBP Action A10, a local communication campaign to promote participation and better data
collection.
Observers
were particularly encouraged
to collect complete lists, explaining the relevance of this kind of data and
hightlighting that, thanks to the improvements in the Davas dati app, now
submitting complete lists was easier than ever.
See,
for example the articles that appeared in Dabasdati.lv on October 2017 and the detailed information provided also here.
Encouragement
to use the option of complete lists was also published in the magazine of the
Latvian Ornithological Society (LOS) “Putni dabā” and in the methodology of the EBBA project in Latvia.
Moreover, the importance of submiting this complete lists was also presented to
the participants of the annual meeting of LOS members.
There
were 2,027 full lists reported during 2017 (287 using mobile application and
1,740 through the web), containing 48,555 observations (8,267 as mobile uploads
and 40,288 through the web).
It is planned to publish a new appeal in Dabasdati.lv in a few weeks to further remind about the importance of collecting complete lists.
