The population of Curlew is critically low and breeding productivity has been identified as a critical factor. A population model derived from known parameters predicts that in the absence of any action, the Curlew will become extinct as a breeding species in Ireland within 10 years. Saving the Curlew from extinction in Ireland is one of the greatest conservation challenges faced by Ireland.
Action for Curlew in Ireland Recommendations of The Curlew Task Force
The Task Force identifies that the Curlew Conservation Programme, established in 2017 and focusing on action and research, should continue to be supported, and as soon as practicable, upscaled and expanded, most likely under the forthcoming Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan.
