Climate change adaptation measures for amphibians (09/30/2022)

Presentation by Dr. Antonio Bea at the conference “Instruments for climate action in natural heritage” organized by Ihobe at the Europa Conference and Exhibition Center in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country)

The results of the study “Climate change adaptation measures for amphibian species in the Basque Country” are presented, which was developed by Ihobe in collaboration with Ekos Estudios Ambientales.

Amphibians are species that inhabit both terrestrial and aquatic habitats in their life cycle, which is why they are especially vulnerable to climate change. The models predict significant reductions in the area of distribution of most of the species in the Basque Country. To minimize the impact of climate change, climate change adaptation measures are proposed to reduce non-climatic pressures, improve the conservation status of key elements, improve ecological connectivity, create favorable habitats, manage extreme weather events, etc.

ELEMENTOS PARA UMA GESTÃO SUSTENTÁVEL DA ROLA EUROPEIA (Elements for the sustainable management of the European turtle dove / 8-10 of July 2022)

Presentation by Dr. Antonio Bea at the 24th Hunting, Fishing, Tourism and Nature Fair, organized by the Albufeira City Council (Portugal) in collaboration with the Algarve Hunters Federation.

Despite the multiple threats facing the common turtle dove in Europe, not all populations are in decline; important populations and new migratory routes are known. Local turtle dove populations benefit from habitat management. Certain studies emphasize that the main cause of population decline is the deterioration of the conditions of their wintering grounds in the Sahel.

Management proposals are made, such as: restoring habitats where historically there have been great abundances, adapting other places so that they adjust to the optimal conditions for the species, making management plans at the regional level adapted to the specific threats of each place, defining a differentiated hunting management according to the regions, considering the specificities of the local populations, the quality of the habitat and the hunting pressure.

Effects of global climate change on key habitats for waterfowl and waders in Lithuania, Belarus and Spain (July – August 2022)

The aim of the Workshop was to discuss the currently ongoing project “Effects of global climate change on key habitats for waterfowl and waders in Lithuania, Belarus and Spain”.

The work carried out in Belarus and Lithuania in July and August 2022, with the participation of experts from Spain (Prof. Miguel Alonso, Dr. Antonio Bea, Julen Henry), Lithuania (Prof. Kęstutis Arbačiauskas, Prof. Dalius Butkauskas, Dr. Saulius Švažas, Dr. Petras Prakas, Dr. Mindaugas Dagys) and Belarus (Dr. Alexander Kozulin, Prof. Vladimir Baitchorov, Dr. Mikhail Maximenkov) have highlighted the effect of climate change and anthropic activities on the rapid transformation of several especially important wetlands for waterfowl and waders both in Spain (representing southern Europe) and in Lithuania (representing eastern Europe).
