🔴 High level conference on #EUBiodiversity & EU

🔴 High level conference on #EUBiodiversity & EU Forest Strategy in Poland: FACE’s policy advisor and former Vice-President @jaroslaw_kuczaj represented us during key discussions on future matters affecting hunting and conservation in Europe.

📌 Major topics:
➢ Convention on Biological Diversity
➢ Bern Convention
➢ Biodiversity Conservation
➢ European Charter on Hunting and Biodiversity
➢ Need for sustainable resource use

🌿📯 Hunters’ crucial role in nature conservation was highlighted. See examples of inspiring initiatives by Europe’s hunters:

📕 🐦 🆕 European #birds #RedList: Assessmen

📕 🐦 🆕 European #birds #RedList: Assessment of 544 bird species!

👍 Good news: "Least Concern" for around 80% of bird species

👎 Bad news: Decline for 30% of all bird species & over 40% of waterbird species

❓Which ‘huntable birds’ are affected ❓
From 'threatened' to 'Least Concern':
Greater Scaup, Long-tailed duck, Willow Grouse
From 'Near Threatened' to 'Least Concern':
Rock Ptarmigan, Chukar, Redwing
Status worsened: Common Snipe, Common Eider and Northern Pintail.
Declining trends: Wigeon and Tufted Duck.

⚠️ Note however: Increasing wintering numbers for Pintail, Wigeon and Tufted Duck.

🦆 For example, Wigeon: Despite decrease in breeding numbers – around 55.000 pairs, the species remains abundant in the EU – with around 1 Million individuals spending the winter here.

🔴 What are the main problems for waterbirds?
❌ Loss of quality breeding habitat for waterbirds
❌ Wetland restoration not yet given enough policy priority

📢 Call to Action:
We urge decision-makers to
✅ incorporate better #habitat #conservation measures particularly on wetlands and wet grasslands
✅ prioritise wetland restoration on political and policy agenda
✅ incentivise conservation measures on farmlands
under Common Agricultural Policy!

📯🇸🇰 #HuntingLife in Slovakia: 3 magnificent projects with 3 key goals – Best #ForNature! 🌿💪🏼

🌿📯 See how Slovakia’s hunters @polovnictvo_ma_zmysel SAVE nature & increase biodiversity:

📗 # 1: Hunters’ project on: Ensuring wildlife conservation during annual harvests!

https://www.biodiversitymanifesto.com/2021/10/07/coordinated-actions-for-small-game-conservation-in-slovakia/

⚠️ #DYK? #Hunters play a crucial role in:

✅ managing rural areas

✅ conserving wildlife & nature

✅ implementing biodiversity-friendly measures

🔴 Their role supports implementation of #EUBiodiversity Strategy 2030 – 📢 which calls for: 10% of agricultural areas under high-diversity landscape features.

🌿🏅🇬🇧 Biodiversity Manifesto – Projec

🌿🏅🇬🇧 Biodiversity Manifesto – Project of Month “Penelope”: Hunting community and scientists team up to improve knowledge on Europe’s most popular quarry duck - Eurasian wigeon.

➡️ See here:https://www.biodiversitymanifesto.com/2021/10/08/project-penelope-takes-flight-in-the-uk/

🦆 Why is this important?

⚠️ Last 20 years: Eurasian wigeon’s breeding density and range declined.

⚠️ Correct management & conservation ensures a future for Eurasian wigeons in Europe.

📌 What is being done?

📊 @bascnews & Waterfowlers Network record species:

✅ Winter movements

✅ Flight paths

✅ Breeding sites

for informed decisions on protected sites and to secure sustainable hunting.

💷 Funding:

➡️ from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland

➡️ £50,000 from BASC’s charity

👏 FACE is proud to endorse this project together with @defrauk
