Action Requested from the Standing Committee. The Standing Committee is requested to review the proposed changes in delineations of selected AEWA populations presented in Annex 1 to this document, as recommended by the Technical Committee, and to approve them for further use. ANNEX 1 is available at the StC24 webpage as a separate Excel file. ANNEX 2 DELINEATION OF BIOGEOGRAPHIC POPULATIONS OF THE PINK-FOOTED GOOSE (ANSER BRACHYRHYNCHUS) PROPOSAL TO CHANGE POPULATION DELINEATIONS Compiled by Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Wetlands International and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Aarhus University Name of population(s): Pink-footed Goose Anser brachyrhynchus, Svalbard/North-west Europe Current status on AEWA Table 1: Category 1 of Column B What is the issue? This population of the Pink-footed Goose traditionally on breeds on Svalbard (Figure 1. ), migrates through Norway and xxxxxxx in Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium. The population is subject of an AEWA International Single Species Management Plan (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2012). One of the objectives of the ISSMP is to maintain a sustainable and stable Pink-footed Goose population and its range. However, a new breeding group has been established on Novaya Zemlya and the formerly narrow migration corridor leading through Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands to Belgium has been expanded to Sweden and Finland leading both to Svalbard and to Novaya Zemlya (Xxxxxx et al., 2023, Figure 2)1. The creation of the new migration route and breeding group is still evolving. The numbers continue to increase and the forming of new staging and wintering areas in e.g. Poland, Scania and Western Finland are being observed. However, there is no significant genetic difference between the two breeding groups and exchange of individuals is observed.
