Geo-databse is now online

Population-level monitoring geo-database is now online and operational (http://213.136.91.254/bear/). Geo-database enables entering and graphic presentation of different types of data, that are important for monitoring of brown bear population in project area (GPS telemetry, damage occurance, mortality, signs of presence and observations). During the project the database will be supplemented with additional data entering applications. […]
