Résumé :	We analyzed the species trend in Trentino, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia during the period 2000-2014, based on calling males counted in the late season (mostly June-early July). Our study area includes regions located in the southern Alps, which together host more than 95 % of the national population. The species showed a significant decline during the period considered, despite the occurrence of some differences in population trend across regions, which confirm the already reported potential effect of local factors. The rather small population size, the marked decline and the rather peripheral location of the Italian species\' range contribute to the concerning status of the national Corncrake population. We discuss the main threats to the species, and in particular habitat changes (due to both intensification and abandonment) and modification of farming practices.
