“…The causes of the reduction in bird populations are not only deforestation (Symes et al 2018), but also bird hunting for food, used as pets, traded, or other purposes (Fernandes-Ferreira et al 2012, Iskandar et al 2016. Hunting can change animal community composition and may affect a large number of ecological interactions (Barbosa et al 2014) and jeopardizes the survival of birds, especially waterbirds (Wang et al 2018) and migratory bird species (Arizaga and Laso 2015). Although not a few researchers argue that hunting endangers the survival of bird species, some researchers who argue otherwise.…”

Riefani MK, Soendjoto MA, Munir AM. 2019. Bird species in the cement factory complex of Tarjun, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 218-225. The factory complex of PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk., Tarjun, South Kalimantan, Indonesia consists of cement manufacturing plants and employee settlements. Supporting facilities for the two main areas are open spaces in the form of waters (lakes, small rivers), grasslands (golf courses, grassy fields with several woody individuals growing on it), and forests (mangrove forests, secondary lowland forests, including shrubs). However, the data related to bird species that live in complex are not available yet. The purpose of this study was to inventory bird species in the ITP complex and to analyze qualitatively the presence of birds. These data will be used as a baseline for the development of the complex, comparative data for birds in the operational area of mining located 27 km outside the complex, and the completeness of the requirements for submitting a company performance rating (Proper). Birds were inventoried four periods between 2015-2016 at 06:00 - 08:00 and 16:30 - 18:00. The period here was treated as repetition. Observers equipped with binoculars and telephoto cameras walked around through footpaths and roads exploring the whole complex. In water and grassland areas, birds recorded can be at an observation distance of more than 50 m, whereas in forest areas, birds recorded were at a maximum distance of 50 m. A total of eighty-seven species and 41 families of birds were recorded. Of them, eighteen species and 8 families are waterbirds.The most recorded birds were classified as residents. All of the birds were recorded or observed easily every day or almost every day, at least at the research sites. Others (8 species) wee categorized as migratory birds. Fourteen species are protected by the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry, the Republic of Indonesia No. P.92/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/8/2018, 30 August 2018.

“…On average, illegal hunting causes several deaths a year, of which some would belong to the local adult resident population. Thus, during a period of eight years (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013), 13 Peregrine falcons were shot in Gipuzkoa (Arizaga & Laso, 2015). Furthermore, only in 2017, at least three more adults were killed (source: Gipuzkoa forest ranger team).…”

“…At the time, Gipuzkoa hosted an apparently healthy population (28 territories), with one of the greatest breeding densities documented in Spain (1.2 pair/100 km 2 ) (Moral & Molina, 2009). Productivity was not assessed for 2008 but for the period 2003-2005 (Álvarez et al, 2005), and was also relatively high as compared to other zones of Spain (1.68 chicks/breeding pair; the mean for Spain is estimated at 1.42) ( (Arizaga & Laso, 2015) and the possible increasing pressure on nest places (due to the growing popularity of climbing and wildlife photography) are two conservation problems with unknown effects on the Peregrine falcon population in Gipuzkoa.…”

Gathering information on the distribution and population size is crucial in order to develop precise conservation actions, especially in threatened species or those of special concern. The aim of the present article is to update the population status and the breeding parameters of the Peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus L., 1756 in Gipuzkoa. We also used data obtained from previous studies in order to estimate population trends in the region (2000-2017). In 2017, 35 territories were detected. During the period from 1990 to 2000, the mean breeding population size increased 79.4%, but from 2000 to 2017, the increase was just 3.2%. However, the latter increase was not statistically significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that the population has remained stable for the last two decades. The Peregrine falcon is well distributed in Gipuzkoa, except for the central-eastern part of the region. The nests were found on inland cliffs (48.6%), marine cliffs (25.7%), quarries (22.9%) and buildings (2.9%). The breeding parameters in 2017 (productivity: 1.72 ± 1.36 offspring/breeding pair, n = 35; flight rate: 2.50 ± 0.83 offspring/nest, n = 24; breeding 7 Peregrine falcon in Gipuzkoa
