 The
Red-breasted Goose International Working Group is an
informal expert group of organizations working for the
protection
of the globally threatened species - Red-breasted Goose – Branta ruficollis.
Its goal is to implement
the International Single Specie Action Plan for Branta
ruficollis.
The coordinator of the RBGIWG is located in Romania (the
hosting organization is SOR – Romanian Ornithological Society)
– one of the most important wintering areas for RBG along
with Bulgaria and Ukraine.
The Red-breasted Goose (Branta ruficollis)
is a charismatic, globally threatened species highly dependent
on wetlands and farmed areas. In the last 50 years, the
distribution of the breeding and wintering grounds of Red-breasted
Goose has changed dramatically for unknown reasons.
