Inhaltsangabe
The aim of this book is to achieve a better understanding of partridge ecology, and thereby to promote methods of conservation which could arrest the enormous tide of decline with regard to this species. Until the 1960s the partridge was a very common bird in many countries - each Autumn there was a total of over 120 million, almost all of which were to be found on farmland. In this book the reasons for the decline are examined in detail and the major cause is found to be pesticides, in particular the use of herbicides and insecticides which has reduced the supply of insect food available for the partridge chicks. Methods of restricting pesticide use dealt with in the book give a clear prospect of more partridges, more wildlife, little hindrance to farmers in the short term and additional benefits to the environment in the long term. Of interest to ecologists, game conservationists and naturalists, the book is also of interest to those engaged in agricultural practices and to countryside environmental officers.

Pub Year 1986, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> The Partridge Book by G. R. Potts aims to provide an in-depth understanding of partridge ecology and to promote conservation methods that can help mitigate the significant decline of this species. Once abundant, with over 120 million individuals across various countries up until the 1960s, the partridge population has now fallen to fewer than 20 million, with shooting practices ceasing in many areas. This decline has been extensively studied, particularly because the partridge is a popular target for sports hunting.The book examines the primary reasons behind the partridge's decline, notably the detrimental impact of pesticides. The use of herbicides and insecticides has significantly diminished the availability of insect food for chicks, leading to widespread starvation. However, the author posits that partridge numbers can be restored by implementing pesticide-free margins in cereal fields, which requires only a minor reduction of 4% in pesticide usage.Pesticides pose a threat to numerous species, but the case of the partridge illustrates the indirect consequences these chemicals can have on wildlife. It serves as a concerning indication of the potential impacts on many less-researched species. The insights presented are not only valuable to ecologists, game conservationists, and naturalists, but also to farmers and planners of future agricultural landscapes. The text highlights the urgent need to regulate cereal yields and reduce grain surpluses, while suggesting that current pesticide practices may not be sustainable for agricultural ecosystems in the long run. The book offers practical approaches to limiting pesticide use, providing a framework for conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices. Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM706-VG-14300
