EN Information about Aquatic Warbler conservation is distributed over a large number of scientific articles, reports, and informal documents, which are not easily accessible and are hard to summarise for an ordinary person interested in Aquatic Warbler conservation. The aim of the handbook is to summarise this knowledge, which has grown so much in recent years, illustrate it with practical examples, and make it accessible. The main target group of this handbook are conservationists (such as site managers), political decision makers from competent authorities (such as staff of national environment ministries or regional conservation units), and local stakeholders (such as landowners, land managers, water authorities, or mayors), as well as generally interested naturalists and scientists. This book is meant to collate and summarise the existing scientific and practical knowledge and experience relevant for the conservation of the Aquatic Warbler in its breeding grounds. Aspects related to migration and wintering are covered more generally in one summarising chapter each. The structure of the book more or less follows the logic of a species action plan. The long Chapter 2 provides general information about the ecology of the species and covers species characteristics, distribution and numbers, habitat requirements, food and foraging, breeding, voice and song behaviour, population dynamics, genetics, migration, and wintering. Chapter 3 summarises threats and limiting factors and is followed by another long chapter (Chapter 4) with information on habitat management - water management, bush and shrub removal, mowing, grazing, and controlled burning. The book ends with recommended research and monitoring activities (Chapter 6) and communication (Chapter 7). All relevant references are presented at the very end of the book. [Introduction ]
