| Résumé : | Citizen science is an indispensable means of obtaining the information necessary for maintaining bird monitoring programmes. The aim of this paper is to inspire creative thought and discussion among the ornithological community, scientists and decision makers in Denmark to improve the quality and extent of breeding bird monitoring. We review the status of monitoring programmes in Denmark and use this information as a basis for discussing how we could best improve citizen science based bird monitoring programmes in the future. We undertake a gap analysis to establish some immediate priority areas for attention. In particular, we argue for initiating programmes that deliver information on demography parameters such as survival, reproduction, immigration and emigration to better interpret overall trends in abundance. We suggest combining data from different monitoring programmes to develop the possibilities for the integrated analyses of population counts and demographic data within population models, which will contribute to more effective management and conservation in the future. |
