The various Red Data Books prepared by the IUCN and ICBP have set
the standards for recognizing birds close to or at risk of
extinction worldwide. This book, by focusing on vulnerable species
living in or visiting Britain, sets out to define the British
situation and to clearly establish both the importance of British
populations and our own responsibilities for contributing to bird
conservation. Compiled by an editorial team drawn from the Nature
Conservancy Council and the Royal Society for the Protection of
Birds, it identifies 117 species that demand our care and
attention. Obviously it includes species that breed in or visit
Britain in small numbers and whose populations are threatened by
natural or man-made circumstances. However, it also deals with
birds that are common or numerous but which, due to their localized
distribution worldwide, have the greater part of their European
populations in British sites. Each of the species accounts provides
up-to-date information on current populations, basic ecology,
threats to the species and the legal protection and conservation
measures now in force. General chapters deal with the state of
Britain's various habitats, legal matters and conservation action
for the future. This book should mean that no-one, whether
ornithologist, land manager or bureaucrat, can plead ignorance when
future land-use changes or management decisions threaten an
endangered, vulnerable or important bird species. Illustrated by
Ian Willis
