Hunting broadly not responsible for birds declining across Europe, study finds
Hunting is not the main reason bird populations are declining across Europe, according to new research from University College Dublin in collaboration with the Spanish research institute Instituto de Investigación en Recursos Cinegéticos…
AI Summary
New research by University College Dublin and Spain’s Instituto de Investigación en Recursos Cinegéticos examined population trends for 256 bird species across nine European nations, including Ireland and the United Kingdom. The study found no statistically significant link between a species’ legal hunting status and its probability of decline. Consequently, hunting is not identified as the primary driver of bird population reductions across Europe. The analysis relied on comparative data from multiple countries to assess the relationship between hunting regulations and species trends.
