The observer walks a transect within the limits of the facility. Observed species in the facility and in a buffer of 200 meters are registered.

Workers at each plant who have voluntarily enrolled in the Biobserva program observe birds during their working hours. 2. Volunteers have been trained in bird watching and identification. 3. Each sighting is noted by the volunteer. For this they have an application that can be used from the phone or from the computer. 4. All observations are reviewed by an expert from the Institut Català d'Ornitologia (ICO). El área de estudio comprende las instalaciones operativas de Veolia (plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales, estaciones de tratamiento de agua potable, plantas de gestión de residuos y centros operacionales) y un perímetro de 200 metros alrededor de cada instalación. The observer walks a transect within the limits of the facility. Observed species in the facility and in a buffer of 200m are registered. It is recommended to register all observed species (complete list), including common species. Twice a year (15th to 30th of January, 15th to 30th of May) observers are asked to invest 30 minutes between sunrise and midday to survey their facilities. Monica Perez Clausen pointOfContact BiObserva es un programa de ciencia ciudadana corporativa que monitorea la biodiversidad de avifauna en instalaciones industriales de Veolia en España. Mediante protocolos estandarizados de observación, voluntarios capacitados realizan censos sistemáticos semestrales (primavera e invierno) registrando especies, abundancias y comportamientos. Los datos georreferenciados y validados por expertos contribuyen a GBIF, generando información científica sobre distribución, fenología y uso de hábitat de aves en entornos antropizados. El programa evalúa el impacto de infraestructuras de gestión de agua y residuos en la biodiversidad local, identifica especies de interés para la conservación y fundamenta estrategias de naturalización basadas en evidencia científica. Internal financing of Veolia company. Acknowledgments: this dataset has been published as part of the efforts done in the CESP Project “OpenPSD – Engage and promote the private sector in open biodiversity data publication (ID CESP2019-004)”. Some of the water treatment facilities located in Spanish territory. The area includes the entire surface of the facility as well as an external margin of 200 meters around the perimeter. BiObserva implementa un diseño de muestreo sistemático mediante censos estandarizados en puntos fijos dentro de instalaciones de Veolia. Se realizan dos censos anuales obligatorios (mayo y enero) de 20 minutos de duración, complementados con observaciones oportunistas continuas. Los voluntarios registran todas las especies detectadas visual y acústicamente mediante aplicaciones móviles (Natusfera/iNaturalist), documentando con fotografías, coordenadas GPS y metadatos temporales. Las observaciones son validadas por expertos taxonómicos antes de su integración en GBIF. El diseño permite comparaciones temporales (variación estacional e interanual), espaciales (entre instalaciones) y evaluar efectos de acciones de naturalización. La replicación del protocolo en múltiples instalaciones genera una red de monitoreo a escala nacional, proporcionando datos robustos sobre biodiversidad en infraestructuras industriales del ciclo del agua. 2020-04-16T00:38:07.339+02:00 dataset Perez Clausen M, Rovira C (2026).
