International single species action plan for the conservation of the European turtle-dove Streptopelia turtur (2018 to 2028)

Metadejta tal-pubblikazzjoni

The European turtle-dove (Streptopelia turtur) breeds across most of Europe, except the extreme north; and within the European Union (EU), only Ireland and Sweden do not have breeding populations. The breeding range extends east into China, and south into northern Africa. Birds migrate to sub-Saharan Africa to overwinter, using at least three routes: through Iberia, via Italy and Malta, and across the Eastern Mediterranean. The latest breeding population estimate is 2.4 to 4.2 million birds within the EU, around 75% of the 2.9 to 5.6 million pairs in Europe. The global population is estimated as 13 to 48 million pairs, all but an unknown number in north-eastern China being within the scope of the African-Eurasian Migratory Landbirds Action Plan (AEMLAP). At the global level, the species was uplisted in 2015 from Least Concern to Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is considered Near Threatened in the EU28 and Vulnerable in BirdLife International’s Europe region (BirdLife International 2015). Populations are decreasing in many Member States. Breeding numbers show an overall decline (from the 1970s), especially in western Europe.
