Support Eastern Europeans to Develop Bird Indicators (SEED)

Lead organisation: EBCC (Non-governmental)

Bird conservation NGOs from Belarus, Republic of North Macedonia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Turkey and Bulgaria started a project for strengthening their capacity to run successful national Common Bird Monitoring Schemes (CBM). These monitoring schemes are citizen science initiatives, which use data collected by volunteers to analyse how the populations of common and widespread birds change in response to environmental conditions.

Policy uptake explanation

For example the EU uses the Farmland Bird Index which is produced using these data as a measure of the effective implementation of its commitments set by the Convention of Biological Diversity to halt biodiversity loss by 2010
