The Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences (DI4A) at the University of Udine, in collaboration with Friuli Venezia Giulia regional authorities, within northeastern Italy, set up a wildlife monitoring and surveillance regional network, named InfoFaunaFVG. InfoFaunaFVG is a progressive web application (PWA) allows the recording of consistent, accurate and traceable data regarding wildlife, with particular reference to debilitated and/or compromised or dead animals (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10344-023-01664-4). InfoFaunaFVG has been regularly used by approximately 300 different users, including veterinarians, forestry guards, veterinary technicians and specialized personnel in animal rescue belonging to 16 different institutions.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
InfoFaunaFVG has collected daily data concerning debilitated and/or compromised or dead wildlife animals since 2019 in Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (Italy).Sampling
The data is collected daily by highly specialized personnel through InfoFaunaFVG. InfoFaunaFVG allows the recording of consistent, accurate and traceable data regarding wildlife, with particular reference to debilitated and/or compromised or dead animals. All occurrence data are human observations.Quality Control
* see step descriptionMethod steps
- Data consistency and traceability was possible through regular data quality checks performed by the centralized coordination center at the University of Udine. Consistency is ensured by the use of parameterized data. Traceability is ensured, both for alive rescued animals, from rescuing phases to rehabilitation, and for all dead animals, from discovery to necroscopy and related diagnostic tests, where necessary. When using InfoFaunaFVG, traceability is always possible anytime as every section is linked one to another so can be viewed retrospectively.
