Welcome on the WPA census page of ECBG

WPA	the World Pheasant Association is a charity, founded in 1975, which aims to develope and promote the conservation of all the species within the order of the Galliformes, which are the gamebirds of the world. For more information click on the link       *** WPA ***
ECBG	European Conservation Breeding Group was formed by WPA to promote interest in keeping game birds for conservation purposes.

ECBG is intended to get a screen of the European captive stocks species by species with a European report. This report has to be taken every year. Only with these results it will be possible to determine the trends of the different species.
So ECBG will be able to see on time, where actions are needed and give recommendations to the breeders.

It is very important that every breeder participates with his return at the census!

6 WPA chapters exist in Europe

	Austria (approx 50 members)	Benelux (approx 100 members)	France (approx 100 members)
	Germany (approx 300 members)	Portugal (approx ... members)	United Kingdom (approx 600 members)

The chapter Germany is already collecting the census informations since 1999.
With this input it is possible to evaluate statistically how the trend of a captive stock will be in the future.
On this aspect it will be possible to prove, that the breeders are able to conserve the different species in captivity.
