Specialist Group work
The main aim for our group is to update the information on population status of Northern Hemisphere goose populations. This includes the compilation of population counts as well as counts of juvenile production. This information is vital to understand the changes in conservation status of goose populations. Besides this main goal, we have several projects aimed at specific conservation issues regarding specific species.
Understanding threats to Goose
