Birds protected by national legislation show improved population trends in Eastern Europe

Original language description

Protecting species is one of the major focuses of conservation efforts. However, large-scale assessments of the effects of species protection on animal populations are rare. Protection has been shown to benefit birds in Western Europe and in the United States, but not yet in Eastern Europe, where modern environmental legislation was only established in the early 1990s after political changes. We compared the population trends of bird species between 1970-1990 and 1990-2000 in ten Eastern European countries for species protected since 1990s and unprotected species, controlling for effects of species' phylogeny and traits. After 1990, trends in protected species improved more than in unprotected species. This suggests that national legislation has helpedprevent declines of the protected species, although there was a high variability in population trends among countries. In particular, there was great improvement in the population trends of protected species in countries providing 'narro
