BirdLife International has launched a project to radically improve the conservation of 16 charismatic European bird species across 10 countries.
The new EU-funded project will aim to tackle the severe threats that represent a danger for the conservation of a number of iconic birds. 'LIFE Euro SAP' will run for 3 years, involving 13 partners, covering a total of 16 species. The Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF) and the hunters’ association FACE will also participate and contribute.
The project will develop new Species Action Plans (SAPs) for 2 species (Yelkouan Shearwater and Monteiro’s Storm-petrel), and will review and update existing SAPs for six bird species with continuous population declines: Velvet Scoter, White-headed Duck, Black and Bearded Vultures, Dalmatian Pelican andEuropean Turtle Dove. It will also develop and pilot a Multi Species Action Plan for the major European lowland grassland breeding waders: Oystercatcher, Northern Lapwing, ‘Baltic’ Dunlin, Ruff, Common Snipe, Eurasian Curlew, Black-tailed Godwit and Common Redshank.
