Sažetak
Kopački rit Nature Park is located in north- eastern Croatia in a large floodplain formed around the confluence of the Danube and the Drava Rivers. Biodiversity inventory shows an exceptional richness, estimated to 2, 756 species classified in taxonomical groups of animals, plants, fungi and algae. Project: Wetland and Wildlife Monitoring Using Technology and Acoustics (Watch Out) use the inventive digital and new biomonitoring approach in the wildlife survey in Kopački rit Nature Park. This three-year project is supported under the TECH4ALL Global Initiative by Huawei Croatia, and implement in partnership with Rainforest Connection. Main project tasks are: 1) acoustic monitoring by deploying recording devices for sampling the soundscape, three times a year (mid-spring, mid-summer, early autumn), and data analyses using the artificial intelligence technology ; 2) standard field monitoring of wild fauna, flora and habitat diversity, with special concern on 49 wildlife species designated as threatened, protected or Red List species, and five flagship species: Cervus elaphus, Canis aureus, Haliaeetus albicilla, Dendrocopos major, and Hyla arborea ; 3) data collection and harmonization in GIS environment, and geospatial time series analysis of various characteristics vegetation indices ; 4) establishment of the Mission Centre for education, raising the public awareness and dissemination of the project results. Watch Out project’s benefit is broadening knowledge on diversity and ecology of wildlife in Kopački rit Nature Park, and their resilience to harmful effects of climate change.
