Palombar - Nature and Rural Heritage Conservation recently signed a cooperation protocol to join the European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW), which promotes the population and health monitoring of wildlife in Europe.

This observatory was created within the framework of the European ENETWILD project, which integrates a consortium of leading institutions in the fields of wildlife ecology and health, and is coordinated by the Institute for Research on Hunting Resources of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (IREC, UCLM-CSIC-JCCM) in Spain and financed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

The EOW operates on the basis of the "One Health" concept, which holds that the health of people, animals and the environment is one and depends on common and interrelated factors, so that the existence of studies and projects that include the assessment of this "common health" is essential to achieve better results in public health.

The EOW is structured in a network of observation stations for monitoring wildlife on a European scale. Palombar was responsible for the development of actions in a sampling station of this Observatory located in Northeast of Trás-os-Montes region, northern Portugal.
