Summary
Considering the decline of the Turtle Dove (Streptopelia turtur), an assessment is made of the cynegetic pressure exercised on this species in Extremadura. An analysis is carried out of data from 113 hunting runs carried out all over Extremadura during the 1999 season. The results are compared with those from the 1996 and 1997 seasons. Such studies reveal an excessive cynegetic pressure since the number of hunted birds exceeds in up to 2,4 times the number of birds reproduced. There is a decreasing trend in standardised captures (from 8 samples in 1996 to less than 4 in 1999). There is also an analysis and a discussion on the proportion of young as opposed to adult birds, the incidence of hunting season dates, capture casework and types of hunters.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
