Dalverzin State Forestry and Hunting Management Area


IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2006 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:
Species Red List Season (year/s of estimate) Size IBA criteria
Lesser White-fronted Goose Anser erythropus VU winter (1996–2006) 5–15 adults A1
Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca NT winter (1996–2006) 12–60 adults A1
Mallard Anas platyrhynchos LC winter (2006) 2,500–10,408 adults A4i
White Stork Ciconia ciconia LC winter (2006) 40–150 adults A4i
Great White Egret Ardea alba LC winter (2006) 50–250 adults A4i
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo LC winter (2006) 486–1,200 adults A4i
Pallid Scops-owl Otus brucei LC breeding (2006) 6–12 adults A3
Greater Spotted Eagle Clanga clanga VU winter (2006) 3–9 adults A1
White-winged Woodpecker Dendrocopos leucopterus LC breeding (2006) 8–20 adults A3
Great Tit Parus major LC breeding (2006) 200–400 adults A3

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2006. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2016 not assessed high medium
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
yes unset good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Biological resource use happe­ning now most of popul­ation/area (50–90%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) high
Invasive and other problematic species and genes happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification happe­ning now most of popul­ation/area (50–90%) no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations) low
Human intrusions and disturbance happe­ning now few indivi­duals/small area (<10%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation Planning Action Result
Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity medium
