Due to the massive destruction of wetlands, their preservation or recovery as a habitat for waterfowl is an important task for nature and environmental protection organisations. An essential tool, especially for protection of waterfowl, is knowledge of ecological relationships in the different water ecosystems. But knowledge of the specific environmental conditions of coastal waters with many transitional habitats for freshwater systems are also essential to waterfowl protection. This also includes knowledge of the ecological requirements of each species of their environment. Only when protection measures are based on such findings, can positive results be expected and can errors in management be excluded.
This updated and greatly extended introduction to limno-ornithology offers the necessary tools for waterfowl protection in a compressed and understandable form, both for environmentalists and students, as well as for the many birdwatchers who will gain valuable insights into the ecological fabric of waterfowl in their environment.
