EUROPEAN COORDINATION

The EBCC Atlas Steering Committee (ASC), a subgroup of the Board, started to develop the project in 2011. In 2012 a coordination team consisting of Sergi Herrando from the Catalan Ornithological Institute (ICO) and Petr Voříšek from the Czech Society for Ornithology (CSO), under the supervision of Verena Keller from the Swiss Ornithological Institute (SOI) as chair of the ASC, was set up. This centralised organisation worked in the 2010s together with national partners and many other collaborators to make EBBA2 happen.

NATIONAL PARTNERS

The EBBA2 network included partners from 48 countries. The different situations across Europe required different approaches with regard to methodology and communication. General guidelines on methodology, data compilation and data transmission were discussed with national coordinators before being agreed and adopted.

Funding

The EBBA2 project was developed step by step with regard to funding. Many contributions were provided as in-kind funding by EBCC partner organisations. European project coordination was also partly funded by the organisations involved, but was supported to a larger extent by external funding from charitable foundations, in particular the MAVA Foundation, as well as governmental bodies, ornithological societies and private donors. A species sponsorship scheme on the EBBA2 website allowed societies and individuals to support the project with smaller contributions. Some of the artists providing illustrations also helped to raise funds for EBBA2 by selling their artwork and sharing their income with EBCC.
