European Dragonflies: Moving from assessment to conservation planning
This report identifies a set of priority actions needed to reverse the declines of thirty threatened dragonfly species in the European Union. It is based on data from the latest European Red List of Dragonflies and Damselflies (2024) and employs the “Assessment to Plan” methodology of the ϲʿֱֳ Species Survival Commission (SSC) with a specific focus on species occurring in oligotrophic standing waters and in Mediterranean streams. Three goals and multiple subgoals are presented in this plan highlighting the need for better data and increased knowledge exchange, the importance of appropriate management of priority habitats, and the role of effective policy support.
