EU Management plans for huntable bird species
considered to be in unfavourable status
The first drafts of management plans for
huntable bird species to be considered in unfavourable conservation
status have been prepared between 1997 and 2000. Subsequently,
the plans have been updated with new information, expanded
to cover EU25 and the layout has been changed to be harmonised
with those developed under international agreements.
The long-term objectives of the plans are
to restore the populations of the species to a favourable
conservation status in the EU. Therefore, the plans identify
short-term objectives to be achieved during the initial 3-years
period. These address the most urgent issues to halt the species
declines in the EU.
It is intended to evaluate and review the
plans after three years. This would include an assessment
of the results achieved during the first three years. During
this process new objectives for the next period should be
identified that most effectively will lead to the recovery
of the populations and the achievement of the long-term objective
to restore the species to a favourable conservation status.
