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.
