Bird reserve

Like other wildlife refuges, the main goal of a reserve is to prevent species from becoming endangered or extinct.

Typically, bird species in a reserve are protected from hunting and habitat destruction.

It can be areas such as wetlands, that normally attract many birds, or land that is important to the survival of an endangered species.

An IBA area is a habitat that is vital for protecting birds from a global perspective.

Among the noted areas are Tåkern, Lake Hornborga, the southern part of Öland and Getterön.
