 Tyto  Alba  Most  distributed  umbrella  owl  worldwide  

 Umbrella  species  are  species  selected  for  making  conservaFon-­‐related  decisions,  typically  because  protecFng  these  species  indirectly  protects  the  many  other  species  that  make  up  the  ecological  community  of  its  habitat.

•  Expansion  of  agricultural  and  animal  hoarding  fronFers  

•  Industrial  Fishing  •  Fish  culFvaFon  transforming  natural  ecosystems  •  Infrastructure  projects  like  roads  breaking  migratory  routes  

•  Mining  projects  •  Petrol  projects  •  Hydro  electrical  projects  

Main  factors  threatening  biodiversity  worldwide    

 •  LocaFng   umbrella   animal   species   and   their  territories  

•  ProtecFng   enFre   ecological   communiFes   by  protecFng  the  territory  of  umbrella  species  

•  Help   government   idenFfy   and   declare   strategic  areas  for  protecFon  and  conservaFon  

•  Get   ciFzens   to   understand   the   importance   of  umbrella   species   and   allow   them   to   engage   in  their  protecFon  

•  Create  a  database  on  umbrella  species  and  their  territories  

Need   to   develop   a   tech   app   that   allows   for  ciFzen   engagement   to   help   protect   biodiversity  and  environmental  conservaFon  by:

CiFzens  provide  informaFon  through  their  smartphones  and  tablets  on  the  locaFon  of  umbrella  species  through  a  tech  app  with  geo-­‐locaFon  (waze  type).  This  informaFon  is  used  by  environmental  authoriFes  and  NGO’s  working  for  conservaFon  and  biodiversity.  

How  does  it  work?  

CiFzens  must  sign  a  terms  of  use  agreement  when  downloading  and  using  the  app.    The  app  informs  ciFzens  on  the  concept  and  list  of  umbrella  species  in  their  territories.    InformaFon  on  locaFon  of  the  umbrella  animal  species  are  only  for  governmental  use  and  confidenFal  use  by  NGO  partners.    Both  government  and  partner  NGO’s  must  verify  the  informaFon  provided  by  ciFzens.    Government  then  uses  informaFon  to  declare  and  protect  new  key  areas.

Key  Stakeholders  (partners)  

•  Environmental  AuthoriFes  both  on  the  naFonal  and  local  levels.
