Wild gamebirds such as grouse and grey partridge need similar protection if they're to thrive, as well as habitat management.

The report attributes the recovery of wildlife to 'species protection active targeted conservation, habitat management ... reduction in hunting pressure, protection from persecution and the phasing out of certain toxic chemicals'.

With a shift towards this form of sustainable beekeeping and habitat management we can give the colonies time to grow stronger.

Furthermore, efforts must be put toward habitat management, specifically the control of forest fires and livestock overgrazing of grasses.

Other conservation measures are focusing on research, habitat management, education, and recruiting the help of private landowners.
