Avian Occurrence Records from Eni Ghana Environmental Monitoring (2015–2025)
Listed in GBIF
This dataset contains bird occurrence records collected between 2015 and 2025 as part of Eni Ghana’s long term environmental monitoring programme in the Ellembelle District of Ghana’s Western Region.
Description
The monitoring activities spanned the baseline, construction, and operational phases of onshore project development, producing a decade long dataset documenting spatial and temporal patterns in avifaunal presence within a coastal–forest mosaic landscape.All observations were made through direct human observation, and each occurrence record includes the species observed, number of individuals, event date, associated season, and additional contextual information.
Geographic coordinates have been simplified to one central location although actual observations have been made in locations throughout the processing facility area. The dataset provides a valuable record of avian diversity in a region experiencing industrial activity, helping track ecological change, support cumulative impact assessments, and inform conservation planning. Making these data openly accessible contributes to research, environmental reporting, national biodiversity strategies, and global efforts to understand species distributions and trends.
