IX International Workshop Eurasian Spoonbill international Expert Group IX International Workshop Eurasian Spoonbill international Expert Group Djerba Island, Tunisia, 14 to 18 November 2018
This workshop organized by the AEWA Eurasian Spoonbill International Expert Group (ESIEG) is open to network members and any participant with an interest in wetland conservation and waterbird populations. It will be of relevance to staff from a variety of nature conservation organizations, including scientists, statutory agencies, NGOs, as well as volunteers and students.
The workshop will provide a unique opportunity to exchange and strengthen connectivity between people involved in studying and managing wetlands for the conservation of Eurasian spoonbill and associated waterbird populations. The aim is to share information in a friendly atmosphere and build practical know-how about drivers of population regulation and ways to improve management effectiveness in habitat restoration. In particular, the interest of the group is to strengthen the network with North African, Eastern Mediterranean and Asian countries. We expect the same success as the previous workshop when 35 researchers and managers from 17 countries attended the workshop in Tour du Valat, Southern France in 2015.
Preliminary program Provisional agenda items for 9th workshop will focus on how to obtain more knowledge about the status of the subspecies archeri resident to Red sea and balsaci resident from Mauritania; evaluation of flyway delineations in East Europe and Asia; renewal or extension of the 2008 international action plan ; and sharing knowledge acquired from new GPS loggers deployed to spoonbills. The workshop will be divided into 4 sessions: Abstracts for oral and poster presentations should be submitted online (left panel)
Plenary talk Prof. Theunis Piersma, Dutch professor at the University of Groningen (https://teampiersma.org/), will present a plenary talk untitled: “Underpinning the conservation of spoonbills and other migrating waterbirds: monitoring the weak links in ‘chains’ of wetland habitats”
