Описание: European Red List: moving from assessment to conservation planning for Odonata. By Geert De Knijf

The recent reassessment of the 142 Damselfly and Dragonfly species in Europe resulted in the categorization of no less than 29 species (or 21%) as threatened. Nearly all red list species are confined to Mediterranean streams and rivers, or small nutrient-poor waterbodies, such as bogs. The aim of the Assess-to-Plan (A2P) for the European Red List Odonata project is to strengthen the connection between the red list process (the assessment) and conservation action on the ground, through planning. Building from the reassessments and additional knowledge and views of +30 European experts, we developed a preliminary action plan for the species categorised as threatened, using the A2P and multi-species conservation planning approach developed by the IUCN Conservation Planning Specialist Group. Here we present the most important actions for both groups of species.
