  "description": "This dataset contains 11.339 mammal occurrences from 123.271 images recorded using camera traps in the Ueckermünder Heide region in Northern Germany and Poland. We used a two-minute threshold to determine independent occurrences. The study area covers approximately 400 km² and was subdivided into 50 grid cells of 4 km² each to ensure systematic spatial sampling coverage. Camera trap surveys were carried out during three field sessions: June–October 2022 (43 camera locations), 2023 (46 locations), and 2024 (48 locations). Camera locations were randomly selected within each cell, and the final placement was adjusted aiming to maximise the probability of recording wildlife activity. All surveys used Reconyx HyperFire HC600 camera traps (Reconyx Inc., Holmen, WI, USA). Cameras were deployed in trees at a height of approx. 0.5 meters, following standardized protocols to ensure consistency across years and locations. The dataset is provided Camtrap DP format. \r\nThis dataset is an output of the project \"REWILD_DE-2 – Erhaltung von Biodiversität und Inwertsetzung von Ökosystemleistungen durch Rewilding – Vom Oderdelta lernen”, funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt of Germany (BMFTR) within the Research Initiative for the Conservation of Biodiversity (FEdA), funding code 16LW0064K.",

    "title": "REWILD_DE: Sustaining Biodiversity and Creating Ecosystem Service Opportunities through Rewilding – Learning from the Oder Delta",
    "acronym": "REWILD_DE",
    "description": "The research project REWILD_DE takes up the concept of rewilding using the example of the so far only rewilding area in Germany and addresses scientific and socio-economic questions as well as aspects of practical implementation. What opportunities does rewilding in various forms - such as stream restoration, natural grazing approaches or coexistence with wildlife - offer for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity? What ecosystem services in terms of regional economic and other societal benefits does it provide or support? How can rewilding strengthen regional economic potential? And finally: What role can it play for biodiversity and nature conservation in Germany? The project aims to find answers to these questions and to develop practice-oriented solutions.\r\nDuring the three-year project period, it will be analysed under which conditions biodiversity and ecosystem services can be valued through rewilding in order to generate support from the affected stakeholders in the region around the Szczecin Lagoon. This instrumental perspective will be complemented by the development of a \"rewilding dialogue\" with local people. Through artistic approaches and public relations work, guiding principles are to be discussed and an appreciation for the intangible values of nature is to be promoted. The project is accompanied by a Stakeholder Advisory Board composed of representatives of key regional actors. Finally, the project partners will also assess to what extent the concept is suitable for nature conservation in other areas of Germany.",
