CONSERVATION OF SAKER FALCON (FALCO CHERRUG) IN EUROPE-Presenting the Results of the Hungarian-Slovak Saker Conservation LIFE-Nature Programme and Other Saker Conservation Programmes, overview the present conservation status of the speciesBükk National Park Directorate, Eger, Hungary15-19 September 2010. The Hungarian – Slovak Saker conservation LIFE-Nature project supported by the European Union has started in 2006. Bükk National Park Directorate has been taking the overall management of a team of more than a dozen organisations working on the project, and BirdLife Hungary has been the co-ordinator in chief as for conservation work about the species. The project is coming to an end in September 2010. During these years a vast amount of information have been gathered about the species and an enormous effort have been made in the field and behind desks in order to improve the conservation status of Sakers not only in these two, but also in other countries. There are results, of course, and those results – we believe – are impressive. As a final major act of the project, we would like to share our findings with every colleagues interested in conservation of Sakers (or raptors general) and related fields of conservation. In the conference, we plan to cover the following topics: Reviewing recent population figures and trends in Europe; Reviewing endangering factors Thematic presentations on practical conservation activities and experiences related to Saker conservation based on findings of the LIFE project (e.g. habitat analysis to identify key factors for the species; analyses of temporary settlement areas and wintering sites to map mortality factors; conservation of prey species like Suslik; electrocution: surveys, insulation, monitoring; disappearing nesting sites; other human threats: shooting, nest robbing, trapping, poisoning (surveys, egg analysis, etc.); Importance and possibilities of communication and PR related to Saker conservation (co-operation with media; farmers; hunters and falconers).We also plan round tables: on the matter of hybrids (based on the proposal in Saker Action Plan) and a round table will be assigned for drawing conclusion of the project experience, discussion and phrasing proposals for a more efficient work against threats involving various stakeholders.A field trip to former mountain and recent lowland habitats used by Sakers will be organised in the end of the conference.The conference is opened for anyone interested. Experts outside of the Hungarian – Slovak LIFE-Nature project are encouraged as well to give presentations or submit posters. However, it must be noted that presentations focused explicitly on Saker Falcon and its conservation will be considered only. (Unfortunately, presentations on other species should be refused.)
