BirdsDirectiveEurope is home to more than 500 wild bird species. But at least 32 % of the EU's bird species are currently not in a good conservation status. The Birds Directive aims to protect all of the 500 wild bird species naturally occurring in the European Union.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirective5 December 2019 09:26:15
BirdsDirectiveAnnex1194 species and sub-species are particularly threatened. Member States must designate Special Protection Areas (SPAs) for their survival and all migratory bird species.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex15 December 2019 09:19:31
BirdsDirectiveAnnex282 bird species can be hunted. However, the hunting periods are limited and hunting is forbidden when birds are at their most vulnerable: during their return migration to nesting areas, reproduction and the raising of their chicks.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex25 December 2019 09:21:19
BirdsDirectiveAnnex3Overall, activities that directly threaten birds, such as their deliberate killing, capture or trade, or the destruction of their nests, are banned. With certain restrictions, Member States can allow some of these activities for 26 species listed here.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex35 December 2019 09:22:35
BirdsDirectiveAnnex4The directive provides for the sustainable management of hunting but Member States must outlaw all forms of non-selective and large scale killing of birds, especially the methods listed in this annex.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex45 December 2019 09:23:52
BirdsDirectiveAnnex5The directive promotes research to underpin the protection, management and use of all species of birds covered by the Directive, which are listed in this annex.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex55 December 2019 09:25:07
