Tyszowce Site


IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2010 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 List1 Season Year(s) Size IBA criteria
Corncrake Crex crex LC breeding 2007-2009 50-60 males C1
Great Snipe Gallinago media NT breeding 2007-2009 20-22 males C1, C6
Syrian Woodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus LC breeding 2007-2009 10-15 breeding pairs C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.


IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2009) is shown below.

Human intrusions and disturbance happening now majority/most of area/population (50-90%) moderate to rapid deterioration high
Invasive and other problematic species and genes happening now majority/most of area/population (50-90%) slow but significant deterioration high
Energy production and mining likely in long term (beyond 4 years) majority/most of area/population (50-90%) moderate to rapid deterioration medium
Biological resource use happening now some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Pollution happening now some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
No known threats happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) no or imperceptible deterioration low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas Management plan Other action Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation No management planning has taken place Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity low
