Abstract

Woodlands subjected to commercial exploitation can play an important role in the conservation of forest-dwelling birds, whether these species breed, forage, or spend all or part of their annual cycle in this habitat. Since 2016, the Administration of Gipuzkoa Province, Spain, has implemented a new protocol designed to preserve the nesting habitat of the Red Kite (Milvus milvus) population breeding within the region. This species is locally classified as endangered and therefore has conservation priority. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy, demographic impact, and cost of this protocol. Over a period of 7 yr (2016–2022), implementation of the protocol preserved 23 nests (i.e., 15.2% of the total 151 nests). From these protected nests, 37 young fledged, which was 16% of all the young fledged within the region in this period. Relative to the financial cost of protecting nature in Gipuzkoa, implementation of this protocol was inexpensive, totalling <0.1% of the administration’s budget for managing natural habitats within the province.

保护在木材种植园繁殖的当地濒危猛禽的林地管理规程

受到商业开发的林地在保护林栖鸟类方面可以发挥重要作用，无论这些物种是在此栖息地繁殖、觅食，还是在此栖息地度过全部或部分年周期。自 2016 年以来，西班牙吉普斯夸省政府实施了一项新协议，旨在保护在该地区繁殖的红鸢（Milvus milvus）种群的筑巢栖息地。该物种在当地被列为濒危物种，因此被列为重点保护对象。我们的研究旨在评估该方案的效果、对人口的影响以及成本。在 7 年的时间里（2016-2022 年），该方案的实施保护了 23 个巢穴（占总数 151 个巢穴的 15.2%）。这些受保护的巢中有 37 只幼鸟羽翼丰满，占这一时期该地区所有羽翼丰满幼鸟的 16%。相对于吉普斯夸省保护自然的经济成本而言，该方案的实施成本并不高，仅占该省自然栖息地管理预算的 0.1%。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
