It is estimated that 0.4 &#8211; 2.1 million individual birds per year may be killed illegally in Northern and Central Europe and the Caucasus region \u2013 mainly for \u2018sport\u2019 or \u2018predator\/pest\u2019 control.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Illegal killing of birds remains a major threat in Europe, despite the fact that 28 of the countries recently assessed by BirdLife are parties to the legally binding Bern Convention (on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats), and 19 are also Member States of the European Union, obliged to implement its benchmark nature laws, the Birds and Habitats Directives (often referred to as the Nature Directives).<br>&nbsp;<br>This new paper offers a first scientific baseline on illegal killing of birds in Northern Europe, Central Europe and the Caucasus. The bird groups most seriously affected (in terms of absolute numbers) are waterbirds and seabirds, followed by passerines. Of the worst 20 \u2018blackspots\u2019 for illegal killing identified in these regions, 10 are in Azerbaijan, but EU countries like Germany, the Netherlands and Bulgaria also feature.<br>&nbsp;<br>This study shows that despite good protection on paper we are a long way from achieving \u2018zero tolerance\u2019 on illegal killing of birds across the Africa \u2013 Eurasia migratory flyway. However there is hope and BirdLife partners are working hard in collaboration with others to tackle illegal killing of birds throughout this area, in order to face this difficult issue head on, take action, share information and ideas and measure progress.<br>&nbsp;<br>The findings of this study highlight that illegal bird killing is a wider problem across Europe and it is the expansion of a previous one, published in March 2016, which assessed the extent of illegal killing &amp; taking in the Mediterranean. In the previous&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/bird-conservation-international\/article\/preliminary-assessment-of-the-scope-and-scale-of-illegal-killing-and-taking-of-birds-in-the-mediterranean\/34A06A94874DB94BE2BBACC4F96C3B5F\">study<\/a>&nbsp;it was estimated that 11\u201336 million individual birds per year may be killed\/taken illegally in the Mediterranean, many of them on migration, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/birdlifecyprus.org\/el\/news-details\/conservation-science\/Scientific-Review-on-Illegal-Bird-Killing-in-the-Mediterranean\/\">Cyprus had ranked and still is one of the worst countries<\/a>&nbsp;regarding illegal bird killing.
