Book Status of Hamsters Cricetus Cricetus  Cricetus Migratorius  Mesocricetus Newtoni  and Other Hamster Species in Europe

Download or read book Status of Hamsters Cricetus Cricetus Cricetus Migratorius Mesocricetus Newtoni and Other Hamster Species in Europe written by Gábor Nechay and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight species of hamster are found in Europe. The Common hamster (Cricetus cricetus) and the Golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) are popular pets but the others occur solely in eastern Europe living in agricultural or steppe-like habitats. The increase of agricultural production has led to an increase in their distribution. Some species are in decline but some species in some parts of Europe are regarded as pests. This study aims to give a summary of the status of hamsters in Europe. It summarises the biology, distribution and conservation status and analyses the causes of decline of the Common hamster and the state of the Romanian hamster. Ways of dealing with the conservation or management of the species are proposed

Book The Restoration of Sites and Ecological Corridors in the Framework of Building Up the Pan European Ecological Network  with Examples of Best Practices from European Countries

Download or read book The Restoration of Sites and Ecological Corridors in the Framework of Building Up the Pan European Ecological Network with Examples of Best Practices from European Countries written by Eckhart Kuijken and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The problem of fragmentation and isolation of (semi-) natural habitats throughout Europe is generally recognised. Isolation, together with the shrinkage of the area of optimal habitat, are major threats to biodiversity. They are the triggers for many direct and indirect processes with a negative impact on the viability of natural populations. This study is compiled on the basis of extensive research as well as on the consultation of a large number of specialists in the field of restoration ecology."--Publisher's description

Book Conserving European Biodiversity in the Context of Climate Change

Download or read book Conserving European Biodiversity in the Context of Climate Change written by Michael B. Usher and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is likely to have major environmental effects on natural habitats in the next fifty years. Conservation of biological diversity will have to be modified drastically to avoid massive extinctions of species of threatened habitat types. Precise recommendations are made to governments and conservation agencies that collaborate in the framework of the Bern Convention. This publication provides a starting point for discussion about possible adaptation strategies if Europe's biodiversity is to be conserved.

Book European Strategy for the Conservation of Invertebrates

Download or read book European Strategy for the Conservation of Invertebrates written by John R. Haslett and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invertebrate animals make up the greater part of the world's biological diversity and are present in all habitats, where they perform essential ecological functions. Their survival is fundamental to the maintenance of life as we know it. Large numbers of invertebrate species are under severe threat of extinction in Europe, or are already extinct due to the extreme transformations that European habitats have suffered due to human activities. The European Strategy for the conservation of invertebrates, adopted by the Council of Europe (Bern Convention) in 2006, addresses the loss of invertebrate biodiversity and promotes their conservation and the services they provide in terrestrial and non-marine aquatic environments. The Strategy offers appropriate guidance to European governments, other decision-makers, land managers, scientists and teachers that have potential influence on invertebrate conservation.
