Lake Tysslingen

Current view: Data table and detailed info

IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2000 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
Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus	LC	passage (1998)	20,000 birds	A4i, B1i, C2
Bean Goose Anser fabalis	LC	passage (1996)	2,000–2,500 birds	B1i, C3
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage (1998)	20,000-49,999 birds	A4iii, C4

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2000. The most recent assessment (2018) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2018	moderate	medium	medium
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
yes	habitat	good

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Wetlands (inland)	good (>90%)	moderate (70–90%)	moderate

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	likely in short term (<4 years)	some of population/area (10–49%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Most of area (50–90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium
