International symposium Black Stork Hôtel de Région - Châlons-en-Champagne (51 - France) 21st, 22nd and 23rd September 2012

Information letter

context

The Black stork’s range covers three continents : Europe, Asia and Africa. The majority party of the population is in Europe and concerns the biggest number of countries.

Globally the Black stork is classified as rare (SPEC2) which means that Europe has a particular responsibility for its conservation ;There are very few studies on the species population dynamic on a wider scale. Whatever, there is increasing evidence that the Black stork population is decreasing rapidly, especially in Eastern Europe.

According to most research workers, habitat in a large part of the north of the species breeding range is in danger through forestry intensification, by lack of official protection, by management practices and various causes of disturbance, particular for birds in central and eastern Europe. Various human activities also cause problems during migration. Another major problem is the decline in available feeding areas throughout the species range.The extensive range is both an advantage and disadvantage for this magnificent bird : the Black stork isn’t considered to be globally threatened but it is considered to be threatened locally over a large part of its range.

The special problem is the fact that no one country within the range, neither that with a large population of birds or with extensive suitable resources feel responsible for the population as a whole.

Our greatest challenge for the future is to ensure equal resources for research in the east and the west, the north and the south and to ensure the same intensity of research in breeding, migration and wintering areas.

The solution to the problem of the species population dynamics is assuring a large scale study implemented by numerous groups of researchers. And this necessitates a harmonisation of methods.

We hope that the Châlons-en-Champagne symposium will allow us to compare the specie’s status in many countries and accelerate the identification of the causes of decline of certain populations in order to remediate the situation
