摘要: Evaluating the effectiveness of conservation funding is crucial for correct allocation limited resources. Here we used bird monitoring data to assess effects long-term investment in a Natura 2000 (N2000) protection area (PA), which during two decades benefited from regulations, projects, and agri-environment schemes. Variation between 1995–1997 2010–2012 richness abundance flagship (Otis tarda, Tetrax tetrax, Falco naumanni) specialized fallow field species were more favorable (i.e., increased or declined less) inside PA than nearby control area. However, reverse was found total species, farmland, ground-nesting steppe associated ploughed fields, European concern. Enhancing N2000 farmland may require greater focus on wider biodiversity alongside that currently devoted as well improved matching agricultural policies.
