Assessing feasibility Clause Samples

Assessing feasibility. Improving the monitoring for some of the priority populations might not be feasible within the limited time available by 2027 for various reasons including: • the current security situation makes waterbird monitoring impossible in certain countries; • it is unknown where to monitor the population because its current distribution is insufficiently known; • lack of suitable monitoring techniques (e.g. for some ▇▇▇▇▇▇ nesting seabirds); • inaccessibility of certain geographic areas (e.g. the West Siberian taiga); • limited availability of observers; • political commitment (i.e. the Principal Range States of the population are not AEWA Contracting Parties nor engaged with other complementary biodiversity monitoring and reporting processes such as the Arctic Biodiversity Monitoring Programme, EU Birds Directive Article 12 reporting, European Red List of Birds or participate in monitoring programmes such as the IWC). Populations where the improvement of monitoring is deemed not to be feasible received a priority score of -1 and were excluded from the current targeting of the development of monitoring activities. However, the value in monitoring these populations is recognized (which is why they were included in the prioritization assessment), and they are listed separately in this report with the justification of their exclusion.
