Abstract:

The Pontic route that passes along the northern shores of the Black and Azov Seas is an important migration routes for birds. The Ascania Nova and Danube Biosphere Reserves, the Azov-Sivash National Park and the Lake Sivash and Karkinit Bay Ramsar Sites are the largest protected natural territories on this migration route. They provide favourable conditions for up to 1 500 Red-breasted Geese, 57 000 Cranes, 560 000 White-fronted Geese, 5 000 Mute Swans and many other waterfowl species that present problems for agriculture in the littoral areas. The reserves do not abut and thus the birds concentrated in the reserves daily have to fly up to 40 km between reserves. To guarantee the safety of these internationally important bird populations it is proposed that an ecological corridor be created where wildfowling would be restricted, international aid would be provided to help farmers sustain any agricultural losses due to the birds, and extensive educational work would be carried out.
