Hunter’s App vs Forest diversity

The organization of driven hunts and individual hunting has never been easier. Thanks to the new app, brought to you by Sellier&Bellot a.s., you can now enjoy hunting in completely new way. DRIVEN HUNT Now you will know, how the drive looks like, where your neighbouring shooters are, which direction beaters will go and if someone saw or shot a specific type of game. Just create your drives in a few simple steps and be in the picture, what’s going on during your driven hunt. • Mark borders of your drive • Add direction of betaters’s movement • Choose type of the game • Save the drive INDIVIDUAL HUNTING A simple orientation and booking tool in your pocket. Create detailed map of your hunting area with highlighted positions of all your high seats, feeding and bait stations. When you want to go hunting, just book the chosen stand and enjoy your stay in the nature. If neede, you can also share your location with other users in the hunting territory. MARKETPLACE It’s a place where you can go through, choose or advertise hunting offers from all around the world. You can also buy or sell here variety of gear useful for hunting. NEW USER ACCOUNT New user account will allow you to log in on new devices and retain all your visited associations. Your profile is fully synced across all your devices so you’ll never lose access to your information. User account is neccessary to get a full access to the Marketplace. You will also get an access to the unique code, which could be used during different promotions and sales. REAL TIME WEATHER We want to make your hunt planning as efficient as possible. That’s why you can now find detailed information about the current weather in the hunting territory in the Individual Hunt section.

The aim of this mobile application is to create an online database of habitat trees that are important elements supporting forest biodiversity. Such elements are based on data collection carried out by qualified institutions as well as by the members of public interested in nature and its conservation; the potential to use data for scientific purposes applies in both cases. If we were able to map larger areas, point records could be used to, for example, model the occurrence of species bound to deadwood. The collected data shall contribute towards spreading the awareness regarding the importance of microhabitat trees for biodiversity protection of a great proportion of endangered species, the necessity of their protection, and required responsible behaviour in their vicinity. All this is necessary, and it is also an important prerequisite for the current presence of these valuable trees in the landscape as well as in the urban environment.  The Lesodiversita application allows both registered and unregistered users to map habitat trees and thus contribute towards the habitat tree database creation. When saving a habitat tree, the application requires the user to determine the GPS position of the tree, take or insert a photo(s) of it, record its thickness, height, species as well as to fill in the so-called microhabitats that occur on the habitat tree. Microhabitats are, for example, cavities, cracks, fungi, lichens, dead parts of the crown or flowing sap. The complete database of microhabitats, which is used by scientists, is part of the application. The application also includes a gallery of forest species of organisms that use the habitat trees during certain stages of their lives. This gallery will be continuously updated. The habitat trees database can display individual habitat trees within the database with all their parameters. The application database is also connected to the web portal, which provides the user with additional functions and information related to this project.
