Consultant sought for Migratory Soaring Bird project web tool development
23-08-2012
Under the auspices of the UNDP/GEF Migratory Soaring Birds project, BirdLife International seeks a consultant / firm with extensive
experience in the field of web mapping development to undertake a short term consultancy to develop a web mapping tool for visualizing the sensitivity of migratory soaring birds to wind energy development in the Rift Valley/ Red Sea Flyway.
The web-tool will draw together, from a variety of sources, relevant data on migratory soaring bird species, the sites and routes
known to be important for them and other information which could inform interpretation of sensitivity. The web tool will provide a central location for visualising these data and appropriate analysis to aid its interpretation, enabling users to gain an understanding
of the likely risk to soaring birds of wind energy development at different locations in the Rift Valley / Red Sea Flyway.
This consultancy is part of a larger programme of work to be undertaken as part of the Migratory Soaring Birds Project to gather
and compile relevant data on soaring birds, refine the sensitivity-mapping methodology and provide developers in the energy sector with improved information and guidance in relation to the potential sensitivity of locations for soaring birds, in particular,
those on migration. This consultancy aims to develop the web-tool will therefore need to be conducted within the context of the wider programme of work and with on-going dialogue with the BirdLife International team working on data gathering/ compilation and
sensitivity-mapping methodology. For the purposes of this document the terms consultant and contractor are used interchangeably and mean the same thing.
Interested parties are requested to submit an expression of interest in the form of a
Curriculum Vitae and covering letter (outlining suitability for conducting the contract). Expressions of interest should be sent to John Cornell (john.cornell@birdlife.org) and Vicky Jones (Vicky.jones@birdlife.org)
by 14 September 2012.
