15 years after the adoption of the first European Species Action Plans, the European Commission requested a review to be made on the effectiveness of these important tools for the conservation of threatened bird species. BirdLife was contracted to carry out this assessment together the Federation of Associations for Hunting and Conservation (FACE). An important element of this work was the organisation of the International Conference: Bird Conservation in the EU: planning for recovery action and sustainable use on 23-24 November 2010 in Brussles. It gave opportunity to 130 participants from different stakeholder groups across the EU to present their point of view, give opinions and debate ways of improving the way these processes are organized and managed. Keynote speakers set the scene to the following discussions with exciting presentations illustrating both the successes and challenges to bird conservation in the EU. A variety of discussions highlighted some key messages and recommendations which are compiled into a Conference report which will soon be available through this website.

Below is a list of the Conference papers and presentations for download.
