Switzerland publishes IBA inventory

19-11-2008

SVS (BirdLife in Switzerland) and the Swiss Ornithological Institute recently published ‘Important Bird Areas in Switzerland'. The book describes 31 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) which are important for 29 bird species that meet the qualifying criteria. It will be distributed to decision-makers to help gain more protection for these key sites.

The IBAs presented in the report cover 13% of Switzerland’s total area. Nearly half (48%) of the IBAs are located in the Alpine habitat which dominates Switzerland. Indeed, many bird species identified as important in the new publication are limited to the Eurasian alpine habitat. Three sites are in the Jura Mountains, two are in the cultivated landscapes of the Central Plateau, and 11 sites were selected for wintering waterbirds and are along the most important Swiss lakes and rivers.

"This publication is an important step in biodiversity conservation, but more work is needed to achieve the official protection of the sites under the Emerald Network" —Werner Müller, Director at SVS (BirdLife in Switzerland)

At present, many IBAs in Switzerland don’t have any special protection status. However, a current objective is to integrate them into the Emerald-Network. This is non-EU equivalent of the Natura 2000 network. Some IBAs are partly protected because they have been designated as Ramsar sites, UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, or federal protected areas. However, a lot of work remains to be done to ensure a more complete protection of Swiss IBAs. Werner Müller, Director at SVS added: "the publication is an important step in biodiversity conservation, but much more work will be needed to achieve the official protection of the sites under the Emerald Network".

The main threats to Swiss IBAs presented in the book are from lowland agricultural intensification, the abandonment of agriculture in the less accessible Alpine meadows, and the increasing disturbances caused by sports activities in more remote areas.

Boris Barov, European Conservation Manager at BirdLife European Division, added: “Switzerland is well known for its magnificent mountains. We hope that this new publication will make it easier for the Swiss authorities to focus on the best of the best of Alpine biodiversity”

The publishing of this book takes place after a long series of activities related to the IBA Programme in Switzerland: The first Swiss IBAs were designed in 1989 for the Inventory “Important Bird Areas in Europe”. They contained only areas for wintering waterbirds. The criteria were revised in 1995, leading to the designation in 2000 of other IBAs for breeding bird species in the Alps, the Jura Mountains and the Central Plateau. The new book now presents all the 31 IBAs of Switzerland in detail and will be used to convince the Swiss authorities of the importance of protecting IBAs to stop biodiversity loss.

他们9月份就开办了讲座介绍了这个事情，比较有意思。

瑞士的情况很特别，我们是国家太大，鸟种太多，很多鸟缺乏信息。他们是国家太小，鸟种太少，信息太多。

如果完全按照IUCN的标准，他们是无法从Global的角度来确定一些濒危物种的，比如，戴胜，蚁列，白背矶鸫，白腰勺鹬都是瑞士很濒危的物种，但是都是我们的常见种。因此他们采取一个相对的标准，比如种群数量折合国土面积。衡量瑞士所承载的种群占据欧洲种群的比例，引入了不同指数的权重等等。这样丰富的数据统计就发挥了很大的作用。一些阿尔卑斯山的孑遗物种得以入选，比如欧洲其他地方都很少的黄嘴山鸦，胡兀鹫，高山雨燕， 白领鸫等。

这是个老问题了。重点鸟区的标准基本上应该是全球标准，但欧洲因为受胁种较少，又几乎没有狭布种，所以重点鸟区一开始就比较偏向水鸟。对瑞士等内陆国家来说，就连这条都有问题。本来欧洲国家应该好好厘定biome这个标准，但要是只看这个，一些欧洲罕有甚至是欧洲某国罕有的鸟类就不一定能制定重点鸟区了，这样设立保护区就会偏向于某些种类，所以欧洲才有“欧洲基准”甚至“欧盟国家基准”。本来这个无可厚非，但令国际上标准很不一致，造成混乱。我在1998年接手统筹亚洲的重点鸟区时，不止一次的提出要划一标准，不能欧洲用一套外面又用另一套（其实很多亚洲国家都有这个要求，好像日本野鸟会的同事就说日本的金雕繁殖地应该是，但却因为金雕不是国际受胁种而不能客观列入，这就显出对欧洲和非欧洲国家有双重标准，也是我觉得必须正视改正的），每一次讨论我都提出来。欧洲方面说因为别的大洲重点鸟区很多，不必设地区性基准，我说当然如此，但我要求的是一个划一和公平，避免混淆。争取了几乎十年了，去年世界各地的重点鸟区负责人谈论基准的时候，终于同意以后需要有国际性及地区性的基准，但具体的事项还要继续讨论。

我觉得重点鸟区需要基准一致，不然就没有那种“国际通货”的客观说服力。所以分国际级和地区级，应该能照顾不同国家的需要；当然要为地区定出客观基准，不是说说那么容易的。

暂时中国的重点鸟区基准还是只用国际基准。
