Abstract:
Lesser White-fronted Goose Anser erythropus is recognized as a globally threatened species. Very small numbers stage and winter in Japan, mostly individually, as families or sometimes in small flocks. Since beginning to observe this species in 2001 at Sarobetsu, northern Hokkaido, Japan, we have noted increasing numbers. The increase, from a few individuals (2001–2004) to flocks (2005–2007), is of interest, given the threatened status of this species. Lesser White-fronted Goose now regularly migrates through Sarobetsu, giving us opportunities to observe this relatively rare winter visitor to Japan. In order to help clarify the status of this threatened species in Japan, we describe and discuss the change in numbers, the proportion of juveniles in flocks, family size and length of stay.

Abstract:
Denne handlingsplan en presenterer mål og tiltak for forvaltning av dverggås Anser erythropus. Hovedmålet med planen er å sikre at dverggåsa ikke forsvinner som norsk og nordisk hekkefugl. På lengre sikt er målet en bestand på minst 1000 individer i Fennoskandia. Foreslåtte tiltak omfatter blant annet fortsatt kontinuerlig forvaltning, kartlegging og overvåking av raste- og hekkeområder i Norge, reproduksjonsfremmende tiltak, økt forskningsaktivitet, økt samarbeid mellom nasjonale myndigheter for å hindre utilsiktet felling langs trekkruta og utarbeide en gjennomførbarhetsanalyse for avl.

Abstract:
The south-east Caspian region of Turkmenistan is an important staging and wintering area for the globally threatened Lesser White-fronted Goose Anser erythropus. During the period 1975-2003, surveys carried out in late autumn and mid-winter recorded Lesser White-fronted Geese at a total of 14 sites. The numbers of geese fluctuated widely from a maximum of 1 850 individuals in November 1999 to none in several years. The most important sites were the Turkmenbashi, Balkan, Mihkailovskiy and Severo-Cheleken Bays in the central part of the Caspian coast of Turkmenistan, and the delta of the Atrek River in the southern part. Changes in the distribution and numbers of geese have occurred as a result of habitat degradation or alteration and other anthropogenic pressures, especially hunting. Various measures are proposed for the protection and management of the Lesser White-fronted Goose in Turkmenistan, and it is suggested that these measures could be used in the development of an international action plan for the conservation of the species in the Caspian region as a whole.
