| Résumé : | Austria has a rich raptor fauna with 34 documented species, 18-20 of them belonging to the breeding avifauna. The main players in monitoring activities are NGOs, Environmental Agencies and private initiatives. Monitoring areas are patchily distributed all over the country, but concentrated in the eastern part of the country. Main purposes for raptor monitoring are conservation issues like Red Lists, faunistic and atlas projects as well as scientific projects connected with universities and museums. Although no national network for monitoring raptors exists, data exchange operates well. Monitoring efficiency varies among the raptor species dependent on their size, rarety and habitat preferences. The best and detailed population estimates are available of medium-sized to large raptor key species living in open habitats. Knowledge about small species and forest living taxa is more limited. The key issues addressed by these monitoring programmes are to census the populations in order to identify population development and potential threats of population decline. Gaps exist of common and widespread taxa, relationships between breeding and wintering populations, information on non-breeders and, in general, long-term studies to recognize population dynamics. Such gaps on the regional level are found mainly in the Alpine region, which is difficult to explore due to topographic reasons and the low numbers of active ornithologists. Highly desirable is a national conservation law, as governments of the nine separate Austrian states are currently responsible for such topics, which makes conservation and science work considerably complex. |
