🌻 #BiodiversityManifesto Project of the Month:

🌻 #BiodiversityManifesto Project of the Month: Major commitment by Greek #hunters in conserving the #TurtleDove.

What do Greek hunters do for Turtle Dove?
➡️ Seeding of thousands of hectares with seed-rich #Crops: 110,000 hectares of seed crops left unharvested for game species, which cost more than 2 million euros!
➡️ Creation of #Habitats: Planting of rich natural hedges and fruit trees to provide food, cover & nesting sites.
➡️ Provision of #Water: Water availability is crucial during the drought season in the Mediterranean summer months, which usually coincides with the breeding season of most species.

📯 Another excellent example of hunters successfully implementing #EUBiodiversity Strategy on the ground.

📊 #Hunt4facts: How Hunting & Conservation benef

📊 #Hunt4facts: How Hunting & Conservation benefits Turtle Dove in Europe! 🕊

🔬Scientific evidence shows:

➡️ Declining trend significantly slowed from the 90’s onwards

➡️ Population even shows signs of recovery with a partial stabilization in Spain since 2013

➡️ Species population still remains large with an estimated European breeding population of about 1.980.000 to 3.440.000 breeding pairs

➡️ Main drivers of Turtle Dove population decline is loss of breeding and foraging habitats

➡️ Where the turtle dove is hunted, populations are doing far better e.g. France, Spain & Italy

⚠️📯An Adaptive Harvest Management programme was recommended to ensure sustainable harvest levels from which the turtle dove benefits.

🔴🕊 Key Actions for successful Turtle Dove Management:

🟢 Hunters strong conservation work and self-financing -> majorly benefits turtle dove -> maintain this!

🟢 A small sustainable harvest of the species is crucial for ensuring turtle dove conservation in future!

🟢 Prioritise: Restoring habitat quality, to stop further decline of turtle dove populations

🏅#BiodiversityManifesto Project 06/21: 🇫🇷 #Hunters SAVE #TurtleDove for 20 years – via massive habitat restoration in France.

🔴 Why? Habitat loss is the main reason for decline of turtle doves.

📯 Solution: Creation of suitable habitats!
🗓20 years
🌱🌳🌿452,000 planted
🏞564 sites
💰📯 fully funded by @federation_85 ! 👏

✅ This initiative further confirms hunters' #conservation work is crucial #ForNature & Species❗️

❌ 👎 Banning hunting will STOP hunters' conservation of turtle dove and many other species = detrimental #ForNature.

🏅#BiodiversityManifesto Projet 06/21: 🇫🇷 #Chasseurs SAUVENT la #Tourterelledesbois via une restauration massive de l’habitat en France.

🔴 Pourquoi? La perte d’habitat est le principal facteur responsable du déclin de la Tourterelle des bois.

📯 Solution: Recréer des habitats favorables!
🗓 20 ans
🌱🌳🌿 452,000 plantés
🏞 564 sites
💰 entièrement financé par @federation_85 ! 👏

✅ Cette initiative confirme que les efforts de #conservation mis en place par les chasseurs sont cruciaux pour la nature et l’espèce ❗️

❌ 👎 Interdire la chasse empêchera les efforts de conservations des chasseurs bénéfiques pour la Tourterelle des bois et bien d’autres espèces = préjudiciable pour la nature.

📗📯🌿 Notre nouveau #BiodiversityManifesto montre comment les chasseurs participent avec succès à la conservation:✨

🗳Positive Vote for Wildlife Trade @europeanparl

🗳Positive Vote for Wildlife Trade @europeanparliament ! Most MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) voted to support legal & sustainable wildlife trade.

⚠️Why?
Legal wildlife trade is:
✅ sustainable and regulated,
✅ crucial for rural livelihoods, conservation, science, education & research,
✅ a powerful, nature-based solution to several challenges @iucn_europe

❌ Restricting wildlife trade including hunting trophies for emotional reasons does more harm than good!
