We are excited to announce that the EGMP will start off the new year with another great webinar which will take place on Tuesday 10 January 2023, 13:00 - 16:00 hours (CET).

This webinar will focus on the problems of increasing goose populations and risks to air safety in and around selected airports in Europe. This problem is a concern raised in the AEWA/EGMP International Single Species Management Plans for the Barnacle Goose and Greylag Goose, respectively.

The purpose of this webinar is to shed light on the issues faced in three selected airports in the EGMP range, where geese cause increasing risks. Airport authorities will inform about their problems, handling of risks and challenges. We hope that this event can act to support sharing of experiences and a discussion about effective measures to reduce risks of colissions.

The webinar will be chaired by Professor Jesper Madsen, Head of EGMP Data Centre based at Aarhus University.
