Action Plan for the Conservation of Sturgeons (Acipenseridae) in the Danube River Basin
Author: Jürg Bloesch
Publisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287159922
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Six species of sturgeons are native to the Danube River Basin. The need for conservation action is urgent, given that recent observations in the Lower Danube indicate that all sturgeon populations are near extinction. Due to the high commercial value of sturgeon products, in particular caviar, the pressure from proaching and illegal trade remains intense. These species will not survive unless fishing practices are greatly addressed, and both migration routes and habitats for all life-cycle stages are protected. Through national action and international co-ordination, this action plan aims to secure viable populations of all Danube sturgeon species by sustainable management and restoration of their natural habitats and migratory corridors

Action Plans for Margaritifera Auricularia and Margaritifera Margaritifera in Europe
Author: Jorge Fernández Orueta
Publisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287145666
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The species Margaritifera margaritifera still lives in the rivers of many European states, where its presence is always linked to excellent water quality. Margaritifera auricularia was thought to be extinct during many years, but populations were discovered in the Ebro river (Spain) and in the Loire basin (France) , where they are critically endangered. Action Plans are presented for both species.

European Strategy for the Conservation of Invertebrates
Author: John R. Haslett
Publisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287163592
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Invertebrate animals make up the greater part of the world's biological diversity and are present in all habitats, where they perform essential ecological functions. Their survival is fundamental to the maintenance of life as we know it. Large numbers of invertebrate species are under severe threat of extinction in Europe, or are already extinct due to the extreme transformations that European habitats have suffered due to human activities. The European Strategy for the conservation of invertebrates, adopted by the Council of Europe (Bern Convention) in 2006, addresses the loss of invertebrate biodiversity and promotes their conservation and the services they provide in terrestrial and non-marine aquatic environments. The Strategy offers appropriate guidance to European governments, other decision-makers, land managers, scientists and teachers that have potential influence on invertebrate conservation.

The Micro-reserves as a Tool for Conservation of Threatened Plants in Europe
Author: Emilio Laguna Lumbreras
Publisher: Council of Europe
ISBN: 9789287146649
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Many threatened populations of plant species occupy a very small area, ranging from a few square metres to a few hectares. To protect them, some countries have established legal systems that permit them to create and manage small or very small reserves, called micro-reserves. This publication presents an analysis of micro-reserves for plant species, with special reference to those set up in the region of Valencia, Spain.
