The society complains to government to meadow – NU.nl

According to the Society, violates the government the European Birds directive relating to the protection of birds, reports de Volkskrant Tuesday.

It’s been years, bad with the most weidevogelsoorten in the Netherlands. Figures from the CBS showed last year that the populations of the black-tailed godwit, oystercatcher, skylark and pipit from the nineties, a gradual but clear decline.

The Society concludes that in the long term only 1,500-tailed godwits remain.

Provinces

A Kamermeerderheid called on the government last year on a plan to allow the birds to save. On the initiative of secretary of state Of the Dam were provinces and agricultural collectives the weidevogelbeleid run.

Last week was Dam know that there will be no extra money is made available for the weidevogelpopulatie to stabilize. He claimed that there is “a first quality has been made and that there are opportunities for further improvement”.

‘Farce’

The Society feels that the government is seriously lacking. Kees de Pater of the protection of Birds calls the plan of the Dam in the newspaper “a farce”.

The organization wants that there is a binding national program for birds comes with “clear goals”, which, together with the provinces, farmers and nature organisations. Also the Birds that farmers gain more money for the measures can be implemented.

Via a complaint to the European Commission hopes the Society that the Netherlands still is ordered to keep its commitments.
