Summary of key knowledge. Habitat use and food requirements are generally well known (Fox & Stroud 2002). The species depends primarily on agricultural landscapes containing natural wetlands in the non-breeding season, and low-arctic tundra landscapes in Greenland. Diet in most Range States is broadly known (summarised by Fox & Stroud 2002), and consists of a range of plants of natural wetlands and agricultural grasses. The reliance on the winter quarters and in Iceland on agricultural land gives some cause for concern in the future, especially given the potential effects of economic and global change on farming systems and the consequent risks of farmland being no longer managed for agriculture. Under such circumstances however, extensive natural wetlands still remain in the areas frequented by the geese. Knowledge of distribution and abundance of the population is good, with a range of studies, many of which are internationally co-ordinated, having been undertaken since the late 1970s in Greenland, Iceland, Ireland and the UK. These are broadly summarised by Fox & Stroud (2002) and Fox (2003); with information on key sites available at xxxx://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/. Fox & Stroud (2002) provide a broad overview of knowledge of the population and its ecology at the turn of the millennium. The total non-breeding population in spring 2010 was estimated at 22,844 (Annex 1). Data quality is good, there having been a co-ordinated international census undertaken twice each winter in nearly all years since 1982/83. Demographic monitoring has been undertaken at the key wintering sites since the 1960s (Merne unpubl., Xxxxxxx 1983: both summarised by Xxx 2003 and Fox et al. 2006a) and has been successful in identifying the probable causes of the recent population decline, namely low reproductive output failing to balance annual losses in recent years. The major shortcoming has been our inability to distinguish the precise causes of the reduction in reproductive output in this population and as a result derive concrete proposals of management actions to offset this adverse development. Studies show that the population exhibits individual inter-annual site loyalty (after dispersal associated with pairing) which underlines the importance of a network of protected areas to support the effective conservation of the population. Generally such a network is in place on the breeding and wintering areas and is effective, but some further assessment of the present efficacy is a priority, fo...
