The Split of the Central and South-east European Populations

AEWA recognised three populations, one of which is Central and South-eastern European population (C & SE Europe). International Single Species Action Plan (ISSAP) for the Conservation of the Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia (Triplet et al. 2008) described the Central and South-eastern European population as one population breeding in the Danube basin, Northern Italy, Greece, the Black Sea region and Anatolia. In the same time, information was lacking and Triplet et al. (2008) quoted: “Further studies may reveal whether two separate populations are involved” because the distinct wintering areas of birds from western and eastern colonies already suggested two separate populations. To date, increasing number of data and published results since 2008 based on colour-ring resightings clearly confirmed different migration routes and wintering areas for populations from Central Europe and South-eastern Europe. In 2017, the Eurasian Spoonbill International Expert Group (ESIEG) wanted to present those evidences to the AEWA Technical committee. Nevertheless, the AEWA Secretariat did not accept this submission to AEWA Technical committee considering that more informations and evidences were needed. Discussions among ESIEG members will allow taking decisions about the strategy and defining our position against AEWA Secretariat. The discussion should be done considering that the ISSAP expired in 2018 and AEWA Technical committee recommended an extension for another 10 years of ISSAP in spite of revising it.
