Programme Component 1 "Development of innovative monitoring technolo-gies/solutions Short description of activities undertaken in the reporting period

Management of the programme component

Personnel managed. Procurement of 4 bird-radars and other innovative monitoring devices were

managed and contracted. Preparation of integrating innovative devices into national biodiversity

monitoring is launched in cooperation with monitoring team in Estonian Environment Agency. eDNA

method testing contract was finalised and report handed over, acceptance will be expected in January

2026. 10 voluntary monitoring campaigns were finalised and next 10 prepared for 2026 together with

substancial communication plan, including two big events as feedback for voluntary monitorers in 2026.

Project IT development plan was promoted and needed institutions as well as contact persons

networked. Cooperation contract with the IT Centre of the Ministry of the Environment (KEMIT) is in

force and expenditures as well as developments plan is obtained.

Activity 1. Development of new monitoring methods

Purchase process of 4 mobile 3D birdradars reached contracting in september 2025 and radars are

expected to be delivered in spring-summer 2026. Many other innovative monitoring devices (fieldwork

rugged tablets, bat-detectors, bird sound recorders, thermal binoculars etc) testing by monitorers ended

succsessfully and devices were purchased in bigger numbers to be integrated and used in national

biodiversity monitoring programme. These devices will be also delivered in spring-summer 2026.

Preparation of new innovative monitoring method basing on eDNA for monitoring invertebrates and fish

in rivers was successfully finalised by contractor Estonian University of Life Sciences and results will be

discussed further in January 2026. New monitoring method for testin was prepared for DNA basing

monitoring of the Flying Squirrel as well as new method for Sand Lizzard and both methods testing is

planned to be performed in 2026. Ten monitoring campaigns were successfully performed for

volunteers and preparation of the results to be presented in feedback event in March 2026. Also 10 new

voluntary bases monitoring campaigns were prepared for 2026.

Short description of activities undertaken in the reporting period

Management of the programme component

The management cost includes expenses of the personnel (general project manager) and overheads of

all other expenses on personnel (activities 1, 2 and 3). The project manager (0.5 FTEs) has been

responsible for the overall coordination of the project, also hiring the personnel, organising meetings,

seminars and study trips and dealing with financial reports. There has been one 5-day study trip to

Switzerland for 8 people from the Environmental Board and 2 people from the Ministry of Climate. Swiss

National Park, Jurapark Aargau, Zurich Canton and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and

Landscape Research were vivisted during the study trip. Another study trip was to Brussels: two people

participated in the seminar organised by the European Commission, the topic was connected with

setting objectives in management plans.

Activity 1: Conservation Management Effectiveness Assessment.

The assessment of conservation management effectiveness started at the beginning of 2025. By the

end of the year the management effectiveness of 97 sites has been assessed (the objective of the

project is assessing 300 sites). The guidelines for the assessment has been reviewed according to the

assessment results, gathering data has been made more effective (AI tools used). The assessing team:

coordinator (1 FTE) and four assessors (2 FTEs). There is also one data analyst and one data

specialist who support all the activities.

Activity 2: Conservation Management Planning

The guidelines for protected area management plans are finalized and ready for use. They include all

compulsory (legally required) chapters, and several sections have been refined based on the testing

process. During the testing phase, specialists prepared protected area management plans and provided

feedback for improving or amending the guidelines, as a result of which the guidelines were further

refined. In addition, the guidelines were supplemented with technical solutions such as visitor

management online maps, the Environmental Portal webpage, and the full translation of the lists of

pressures, threats, and conservation measures. Under the new guidelines, three (Anne loodusala,

Kaasiku loodusala, Andresaare loodusala) management plans have been approved and twelve draft

plans have been prepared for approval. The data sheet about protected areas was completed in 2025.

The data sheet is based on the data analytics tool Tableau, and the information is displayed on the

Environmental Portal (Keskkonnaportaal).

The data used originate from the Estonian Nature Information System (EELIS). The web page has been

publicly available since November 2025. Thanks to the web page, there is no longer a need to provide

detailed descriptions or create maps for presenting the area and its values in management plans. The

page consolidates all essential information related to protected areas in one place. 2025 was the year

when most of the inventories of the habitats and species were prepared and ordered. The inventories

give input to management plans. By the end of 2025 35 inventories were completed and 47 are being

carried out. Three management plans of habitats have been prepared (lakes and springs, forests,

wetlands). In June a seminar on river habitats took place, the seminar was organised together with

Tartu University and Estonian Nature Fund, the number of participants was 117. The conservation

management team: coordinator (1 FTE), 5 specialists (3 FTEs), 1 expert (0.4 FTEs), 1 expert (1 FTE)

will join the team in February.

Estimated cumulative physical progress (%)

Activity 2. Development of IT systems

Cooperation contract signed between Environment Agency and the IT Centre of the Ministry of the

Environment (KEMIT) for IT developments foreseen in Component 1 Activity 2 to be performed during

following two years (2026 and 2027). Preparatory work (data analysis, development meetings, IT-

specifications etc) was done by Component 1 IT operators for following IT developments planned in

2026 and 2027: Automated cross-flow of data between the Environmental Monitoring Information

System (KESE) and Estonian Nature Information System (EELIS); automated cross-flow of data

between the eBiodiversity Portal (using online and citizen science based database called PlutoF) and

Estonian Nature Information System (EELIS) - both these IT-developments are planned to be

performed during 2026; development of a fieldwork tool that allows the field-workers to enter the

monitoring and inventory data directly to the system as well as development of a management

efficiency assessment tool for the Environmental Board into EELIS were planned to be developed

during 2027.

3.4 Activity 3: Species Protection

In January the kick-off seminar of changing the categories of protected species was organised,

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 2025 8 meetings for experts were organised, 39

species experts took part of these meetings. 9 different species groups (239 protected species and a

list of new species) were discussed. The 1st out of 3 planned proposals of changing the categories of

protected species has been put together. 2 action plans for protected species (2 species) have been

approved; 2 action plans have been prepared by experts (2 species), 10 action plans (for 141 species)

are under preparation by experts (contracts have been signed). 4 species inventories have been

completed and 7 are being carried out (contracts). The species team: coordinator (1 FTE), specialist (1

FTE), expert (1 FTE).
