Threats and the active protection of birds in a riverbed: postulates for the strategy of the preservation of the middle Vistula River avifauna by Dariusz Bukaciński, Monika Bukacińska, Arkadiusz Buczyński

“…This effort included (a) reducing the number of American minks and red foxes, (b) neutralising the presence of predators and livestock at the nesting sites with electric fences and the use of incubators and dummy eggs and (c) restoration of the nesting habitat, as well as, in the case of mew gulls, (d) increasing the genetic diversity within colonies. The most important demand is the conducting of the active protective measures in a comprehensive way and continuously for at least five years (until 2023), optimally throughout the decade (2019--2028). …”
