The result is that many of the game species are among the best studied wildlife species we have in Europe”- says the lead author of the study, Benjamin Cretois, researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. In this study, Cretois and his colleagues investigated the contribution of hunters to monitoring five large groups of functional species: "Ungulates", "large carnivores", "water birds", "other birds" and "small game".
The results indicate that hunter-managed monitoring of at least one group of species is in place in 32 of the 36 European countries, which underlines the important role of hunters in the process of monitoring European biodiversity. A role that is now recognized by the scientific community.
