Poultry: Conservation
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many Greenland white-fronted geese have been shot accidentally in England in the open season for European white-fronted goose in each of the last ten years.
- Answer
-
The Government does not hold information on how many Greenland white-fronted geese have been shot accidentally in England in the open season for European white-fronted geese in the last ten years. The published Conservation Brief for the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) International Single Species Action Plan for the Conservation of the Greenland White-fronted Goose makes clear that “accidental take remains a risk in England where European whitefronts remain a quarry species.”
