波兰拯救Aquatic Warbler

波兰拯救Aquatic Warbler 04-12-2006

拯救Aquatic Warbler波兰会员正在努力拯救位于波兰和德国的全球性近危Aquatic Warbler的重要栖息地。除了进行可持续性的土地管理措施外，该项目还购买一些关键性的地区加以保护。由于栖息地的丧失，该鸟种自上个世纪以来，数量下降了95％。这个项目是国际鸟盟新的尝试：这既是英国皇家鸟类保护协会第一次出资在外国购买保护地，也是自波兰新加入欧盟以来，首次使用欧盟生命自然基金这一重要资源进行环境保护工作。

The OTOP project - which is funded by the EU LIFE Nature Fund and also supported by the RSPB (BirdLife in the UK) – aims to promote Aquatic Warbler-friendly management of 42,000 hectares (approximately 160 square miles) of fen and wet meadow, mostly in Poland, but also in a small part of Germany. For this area, suitable management plans will be developed and agreed with the local landusers. Of this, an area of about 3,000 ha will be restored as the project progresses. Where necessary, OTOP will also purchase land in key areas.

“The wildlife of the Biebrza Marshes is incredibly important and distinctive. Four out of five of all the European Union’s aquatic warblers occur here, as well as around half of the EU’s greater spotted eagles, along with great snipe, elk and beaver.” said Izabela Flor, Chief Executive of OTOP.

Commenting on the news, the RSPB’s chief executive, Graham Wynne, said: “We are delighted that we can support this project with RSPB funds, to help ensure that this bird has a secure future in its European stronghold“

The project represents new ground for both of the BirdLife Partners involved. For the RSPB, it represents their first contribution to overseas land purchase. For OTOP, the project is also new ground; as a recent member of the EU, they have access to EU LIFE Funds, a vital resource for conservation in EU member states.
