📕 🐦 🆕 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!
