正文(英文) | Russia adopts new national strategy to conserve the species
The Russian Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Russia, Alexander Kozlov, has signed a decree adopting the new approach to Oriental stork conservation in Russia.Based on data from the Oriental stork census that was carried out in 2018-19 in the Amur river basin by specialists of the Russian Working Group on the Oriental Stork with the support of WWF Russia, the goals of the new strategy include that by 2030:
The new strategy builds on the successes of the past twenty years, inclduing protection of more than 800,000 hectares of stork habitats , artificial supports for nests, fire-prevention treatment for trees with nests, and mass public awareness campaigns. In particular, the “Stork Nest Keepers” programme, which was initiated by WWF-Russia in 2004, has played a huge role in increasing numbers of the rare species. In September-November each year, 150-165 trees and artificial supports with nests are protected and saved from seasonal grass fires. WWF has also partnered with the Federal Grid Company to install 4,300 special devices to scare birds from sitting and nesting in dangerous places, including power transmission poles. Moreover, many special platforms have been installed in places that are safe both for electriciy wires and storks - 19 of them are already inhabited by storks. “With a sense of accomplishment, I can say that all the goals that we set at the end of the last century have been achieved," said Yury Darman, Ph.D., Honored Ecologist of Russia. "The number of storks has doubled, and thanks to the installation of tripods for nests and the implementation of recommendations for the protection of birds on power lines, we've created conditions for a stable population." In 2018, at least 727 inhabited Oriental stork nests were registered in Russia - twice as many as during the last survey in 1999. According to Birdlife International, the global population of the Oriental stork at the end of the 20th century was estimated at 2,500 adult birds. But by 2018, collective conservation efforts had seen this population rise to around 6,000, including at least 4,500 in Russia. |
