No Short description of activities undertaken in the reporting period
2.1 Management of the programme component
2024 was preparatory period for the component. Personnel was recruited: project manager, monitoring
specialist, monitoring assistant, IT-system specialist, IT project manager and data manager were
contracted for the whole period of the programme component operation. Monitoring assistant was
already re-contracted during the period, as the work appeared to be more effective when there will be
two persons working on 0,5 FTE instead of one full time. Activities were launched: Development of
new monitoring methods started with many meetings between project team and monitoring team of
Estonian Environment Agency in order to plan methodologies as well as technology purchase.
Preparatory work contained preparation of documents for different purchases and procurements as
well as two study trips that were held: for getting deeper knowledre of wolf monitoring methods as well
as obtain better knowledge base on monitoring of bird migration with radars. Testing of REM model
monitoring was also launched in very first days of the programme component operation. Also
development of IT systems had preparatory phase and all three team members worked together with
state level specialists on preparation for purchasing development in next years. Together with
Environmental Board and Ministry of Climate many meetings were held on IT-developments planning.
Operational Progress Page 5
2.2 Activity 1. Development of new monitoring methods
Random Encounter Method (REM) has been under practical testing and software development in
order to involve AI has been also under testing phase during the 2024. Testing of REM during the
spring period of 2024 was done in 39 monitoring areas. For acquisition of mobile 3D bird radars study
trip was organised in 27th to 29th of October 2024 to Zurich, Swizerland into the factory of one of the
swiss radar producer: Swiss Birdradar Solution AG. For acquisition and testing of new technologies for
wildlife biodiversity monitoring first purchase was prepared by the end of the year and following devices
were received: rugged tablets; bat-detectors attachable to mobile phones; bird sound recorders with
GPS attached; GPS-devices compatible with existing bird sound recorders; drone with thermal
camera; binoculars with distance meter and altimeter; binoculars with thermal camera; fully automated
insect monitoring devices. One very important study trip was held in 16th of September to 2nd of
October in 2024: wolf expert of Estonia got very valuable information and hands on experiences on
wolf monitoring in USA (Idaho, Montana and Washington States). Testing of eDNA usage in
biodiversity monitoring methods has been divided into two parts: first testing set has been started
during the second half of 2024 and it includes testing eDNA usability and method cost-effectiveness in
aquatic environment (rivers) with focus on species identification (crayfish, mussels, dragon-flies, diving
beetles) and distribution detection (Habitat directive Fish species). In promoting citizen science and
creating network of volunteers 2024 has been preparatory and planning period. Four voluntary
monitoring methods, for monitoring otter, diving beetles, bats and amphibians were tested during 2024.
2.3 Activity 2. Development of IT systems
For a development of IT systems (establishment of interfaces between KESE and EELIS;
establishment of interface between EELIS and eBiodiversity (PlutoF); development of management
plans assessment tool and development of fieldwork tool) 2024 was a preparatory phase: framework
contract was signed in September 2024 between IT Centre of the Ministry of the Environment and IT
developer (Inversion Software OÜ) that won the framework procurement for IT developments in IT-
plan of Ministry of Climate for next four years (2025-2028). Preparation of cooperation contract
between Estonian Environment Agency and IT Centre of the Ministry of the Environment in order to set
up framework for all four developments listed above. EELIS2 (new version of IT-system) has been
under testing by Chief Specialist (IT system specialist) in the Environmental Agency (responsible for
the input of the IT developments and testing). That specialist also participated in weekly EELIS2
development meetings and EELIS1 (old IT-system) development meetings as well as workshops for
different feedback to developer (massive data import, data handling, protected areas and objects, data
forms, object migration etc). Specialist (data manager) in the Environmental Agency has been
manually transporting data from KESE to EELIS, testing same time details for interface development,
also testing Tableau analytics and open data. All four developments/interfaces will be performed
during next periods of the programme.

No Short description of activities undertaken in the reporting period
3.1 Management of the programme component
The project team has been put together(specialists and experts hired) and activities have started. The
exact plan of inventories, expert opinions, management plans, action plans etc has been discussed
and prepared, general principles discussed. The preparation for national procurements has been
carried out. Communication activities, a study trip and seminars have been organised.
3.2 Activity 1: Conservation Management Effectiveness Assessment.
2024 was the preparatory phase for the management effectiveness assessment: procedures of the
assessment within the Environmental Board were put together, roles of different departments were
described, discussions were carried out. The coordinator put together the list of areas that will be
assessed in 2025 (109 sites) and cooperated with the Environmental Agency and the Forest
Management Centre about how to gather data necessary for the assessment, initial discussions about
the assessment IT tool have taken place. In 2024 the coordinator was hired, foru assessors were hired
from January 1, 2025. Each member assesses 3 sites per month, by April approximately 30 sites were
assessed.
Operational Progress Page 6
3.3 Activity 2: Conservation Management Planning
The guidelines for management plans have been updated and include all the compulsory (legally
required) topics. The testing of the changes of the guidelines was carried out. A data sheet was put
together about protected areas using the data analytics tool Tableau and the information will be
provided on the web page in the environmental portal (keskkonnaportaal.ee). The project team put
together the list of pressures and threats that can be used for Estonian habitats and species and
chose the possible pressures and threats for each habitat. The same was done with measures. Project
experts have started putting together action plans for habitats. The compilation of two action plans has
been started: rivers and streams, lakes. The new guidelines for inventories of lakes has been put
together. A web map for inventories has been put together and made public. By mid-April 35 contracts
were signed for carrying out inventories and compiling expert opinions and 11 management plans
were under preparation. In 2024 two coordinators, two experts of habitat action plans and five
management plan specialists were hired. Also, for all the activities, one data specialist and one analyst
3.4 were hired.
Activity 3: Species Protection
Updating the guidelines of species’ action plans has been carried out. The same principles as there
were in the guidelines of management plans have been used: there is a new system of pressures,
threats and protection measures used. The new topics are included, e.g. when to archive/delete the
species’ habitats. All the data of previous action plans and draft copies was gathered, discussions
about what species need action plans and how to make the process of putting together action plans
easier were carried out with the Ministry of Climate. Species were grouped and it was decided that
some species’ groups can have a joint action plan, other species can have short action plans. Action
plans are being compiled. in 2024 four contracts for inventories were signed and by mid-April 30
technical proposals were sent for tender. Changing the categories of protected species: data on all the
protected species has been collected and analysed, principles of assessing the categories of species
have been put together and discussed with the Ministry of Climate. On January 22, 2025 the kick-off
seminar was organised by the project team, Estonian best species experts were invited to the seminar.
119 people participated in Tartu and more than 140 people listened to the seminar online. In the first
half of 2025 expert groups of 8 species groups have had discussions. In 2024 a coordinator, an expert
and one action plan specialist were hired.
