Derogations for protected species in European reintroductions
2012 Full Book
The purpose of this research is to provide recommendations on the legal opportunities to resolve conflicts and secure benefits in the relationships between land managers and reintroduced species protected under Annex IV(a) of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the Habitats Directive) and Annex I of Directive 2009/147/EC of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds (codified version) (the Birds Directive). The management of Habitats Directive Annex IV(a) and Birds Directive Annex I species, both meriting special protection under European law, is a matter of current interest in Scotland in relation to the reintroduction of protected species. The Habitats Directive Annex IV(a) listed Eurasian Beaver is presently the subject of a trial reintroduction scheme in Scotland. The Birds Directive Annex I Whitetailed Eagle has recently been reintroduced and the Red Kite has already been reintroduced into four locations within Scotland.
