Wildlife programme

The programme for environmental monitoring and assessment Wildlife at SLU provides environmental assessments of wildlife populations and their impacts on forestry, agriculture and biodiversity. Furthermore, we develop and validate methods for monitoring wildlife and its impacts on wildlife.

Resources within Wildlife

  • SLU Swedish Species Information Centre

  • SLU Forest Damage Centre

    We produce and collect knowledge and competence for the health of the forest

  • SLU Wireless Remote Animal Monitoring

    Researchers and managers around the world use electronic transmitters and sensors to understand animal behaviour, movement patterns and health, as well as underlying and driving factors. Depending on the choice of technology, the information may be sent wirelessly or stored on the device, but whatever the technology, SLU Wireless Remote Animal Monitoring (WRAM) strives to facilitate your work.
Moose

Here's where moose and deer find their food – SLU releases unique map

For the first time, a map is now available showing the locations of forage for deer and moose. The maps, produced by researchers at SLU, show where key tree species for ungulates are found and how much is at grazing height.
