  • Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Wetland Conservation Plan
    CHAPTER 11 CHAPTER 11 WETLAND CONSERVATION PLAN 11.1 Wetland Management Conditions 11.1.1 Natural Parks and Reserves (1) Legal conditions for natural parks and reserves 1) National environmental policy The National Environmental Policy Plan (NEPP) for Latvia was accepted by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia in 1995. NEPP reflects long-term strategy (25~30 years), and has two long-term goals, i) maintenance and protection of existing biodiversity and landscape characteristics of Latvia, and ii) sustainable use of natural resources. 2) National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP) Since Latvia is a country with limited institutional, human, and financial resources, NEAP is incorporated with the National Biodiversity Strategy and the Action Plan, and it will also incorporate implementation of the Ramsar Strategic Plan. NEAP was adopted in 1997, and it emphasizes an establishment of administrative bodies for the Kemeri national park and Lake Engure which include several internationally important wetlands. An elaboration of the Integrated Management Plan for the Lubana Wetland Complex (LWC) is also placed high priority of nature conservation action. 3) Environmental laws and regulations Latvian environmental legal system has been prepared rapidly, and the following laws are relevant to protected areas, especially wetlands. a. The Environmental Protection Law (1991, 1997) determines the general environmental protection objectives, i.e. to ensure preservation of the genetic basis of nature, diversity of biotopes and landscape. It is an umbrella law on nature protection including land use and protection area planning. b. The Law on Specially Protected Nature Areas (1993, 1997) regulates the categories of protected natural areas, the procedure of their establishment and protection.

  • Simplified-ORL-2019-5.1-Final.Pdf
    The Ornithological Society of the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia (OSME) The OSME Region List of Bird Taxa, Part F: Simplified OSME Region List (SORL) version 5.1 August 2019. (Aligns with ORL 5.1 July 2019) The simplified OSME list of preferred English & scientific names of all taxa recorded in the OSME region derives from the formal OSME Region List (ORL); see www.osme.org. It is not a taxonomic authority, but is intended to be a useful quick reference. It may be helpful in preparing informal checklists or writing articles on birds of the region. The taxonomic sequence & the scientific names in the SORL largely follow the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) List at www.worldbirdnames.org. We have departed from this source when new research has revealed new understanding or when we have decided that other English names are more appropriate for the OSME Region. The English names in the SORL include many informal names as denoted thus '…' in the ORL. The SORL uses subspecific names where useful; eg where diagnosable populations appear to be approaching species status or are species whose subspecies might be elevated to full species (indicated by round brackets in scientific names); for now, we remain neutral on the precise status - species or subspecies - of such taxa. Future research may amend or contradict our presentation of the SORL; such changes will be incorporated in succeeding SORL versions. This checklist was devised and prepared by AbdulRahman al Sirhan, Steve Preddy and Mike Blair on behalf of OSME Council. Please address any queries to [email protected].

  • Birds and Biodiversity in Germany – 2010 Target
    Birds and Biodiversity i n G e r m a n y Editors The Dachverband Deutscher Avifaunisten (DDA, Federation of German Avifaunists) co-ordinates national-wide bird survey programmes, such as monitoring of breeding and resting birds. As well get as supporting reseach on applied bird conservation, the DDA represents German nature conser- vation organisations on Wetlands International and the European Bird Census Council. 2010 Tar Since more than 100 years the Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU, Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) is involved in practical and political bird and nature conservation. The NABU is the German partner of BirdLife International, it is member of the DNR (German League for Nature and Environment), and since 1971 the NABU chooses the Bird of the Year in Germany (2008: common cuckoo). The Deutsche Rat für Vogelschutz (DRV, German Council for Bird Protection) is a forum, which enables the co-operation and an intensive exchange of experiences between representatives of governmental bird conservation agencies, scientific institutions and NGOs. The aim is to give scientifically well-founded advice to decision takers and to promote scientific knowledge and conservation strategies. The Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft (DO-G, German Ornithologists’ Society) is one of the oldest scientific associations in the world. Since its formation in 1850, it has promoted ornithology as a pure science as well as in applied research.

Compiling different bibliographical sources, a total of 732 taxa of specific and subspecific order remained. It is about the six large vertebrate classes of Romanian fauna. The first class (Cyclostomata) is represented by only four species, and Pisces (here considered super-class) – by 184 taxa. The rest of 544 taxa belong to Tetrapoda super-class which includes the other four vertebrate classes: Amphibia (20 taxa); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) and Mammalia (110 taxa). Résumé. Cette contribution à la systématique des vertébrés de Roumanie s’adresse à tous ceux qui sont intéressés par la zoologie en général et par la classification de ce groupe en spécial. Elle représente le début d’une thème de confrontation des opinions des spécialistes du domaine, ayant pour but final d’offrir aux élèves, aux étudiants, aux professeurs de biologie ainsi qu’à tous ceux intéressés, une synthèse actualisée de la classification des vertébrés de Roumanie. En compilant différentes sources bibliographiques, on a retenu un total de plus de 732 taxons d’ordre spécifique et sous-spécifique. Il s’agît des six grandes classes de vertébrés. La première classe (Cyclostomata) est représentée dans la faune de Roumanie par quatre espèces, tandis que Pisces (considérée ici au niveau de surclasse) l’est par 184 taxons.

Among these, the little crake (Porzana flooded valleys and water bodies like ponds and ditches [6, parva) is considered a conservation priority in Europe, and is 11]. In Europe, little crake populations are in decline [3]. The listed in Appendix I of the EU Wild Birds Directive, Appendix main threats to little crake populations come from habitat II of the Bern Convention, and Appendix II of the Bonn loss [10] and defective management of areas in which it lives Convention. In Europe, the main threat to little crake [9]. The little crake is poorly studied, because it is a secretive populations is represented by habitat loss. Our study species and its habitat is difficult to penetrate [11]. demonstrates how habitat loss, defective management of The main goals of our study is to show how habitat loss, habitats, and interspecific interactions with water rail (Rallus defective management of habitat, and interspecific aquaticus) are collectively contributing to the decline of little competition with water rail (Rallus aquaticus) contribute to crake effectives.

Nature Conservation 44: 1–20. https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.44.65528 Abstract Wildlife recovery centres are widespread worldwide and their goal is the rehabilitation of wildlife and the subsequent release of healthy animals to appropriate habitats in the wild. The activity of the Genoese Wild- life Recovery Centre (CRAS) from 2015 to 2020 was analysed to assess its contribution to the conservation of biodiversity and to determine the main factors affecting the survival rate of the most abundant species. In particular, the analyses focused upon the cause, provenance and species of hospitalised animals, the sea- sonal distribution of recoveries and the outcomes of hospitalisation in the different species. In addition, an in-depth analysis of the anthropogenic causes was conducted, with a particular focus on attempts of preda- tion by domestic animals, especially cats.
