some of the rarest western palearctic birds require a lot of effort and determination to see them . russell slack recounts a trip in july to see one of the rarest resident species , caspian snowcock , an denizen of the mountains of turkey and adjoining countries .
the state game reserve of the glinani ( clay ) island was established on an island in the caspian sea near the apsheron peninsula . it is referred to as a fauna type of protected area and serves to protect migratory and wintering waterfowl birds , sea - gull colonies and caspian seal rookeries .
established upon decree of the supreme assembly of the autonomous republic of nakhchyvan of june 22 , 2009 . purpose : conservation of nature complexes or their components , to keep an ecologic balance . location : territories along dereleyi range ( administrative territories of districts of sharur , kangarli , babek and shahbuz ) . area : 68911 ha . vegetation : juniper , himantoglossum formosum , iris . animals : leopard , polecat , bezoar goat , moufflon , caspian snowcock , bearded eagle .

description location and general description this ecoregion covers the lenkoran lowland and talysh mountains of southeast azerbaijan and adjoining territories of northwest iran along the caspian shoreline . part of the iranian - turanian biogeographic subregion , this area represents the hyrcanian refuge of tertiary flora representatives .
several hundred bird species are found here . some examples are the graylag goose ( anser anser ) , white - fronted goose ( anser albifrons ) , little bustard ( otis tetrax ) , glossy ibis ( plegadis falcinellus ) , eurasian spoonbill ( platalea leucorodia ) , night heron ( nycticorax nycticorax ) , red - breasted goose ( branta ruficollis ) , peregrine falcon ( falco peregrinus ) , pelecanidae , buff - backed heron ( bubulcus ibis = ardeola ibis ) , squacco heron ( ardeola ralloides ) , greater flamingo ( phoenicopterus roseus ) , white - headed duck ( oxyura leucocephala ) , and caspian snowcock ( tetraogallus caspius ) .
the lenkoran region occupies lowland areas on the southwestern coast of the caspian sea . a peculiar , semi - subtropical climate with prolonged summer draughts and heavy precipitation in other seasons of the year is typical for this region . the annual average temperature is + 140c , and precipitation ranges from 900 - 1600 mm increasing from south to north .
justification of ecoregion delineation this ecoregion includes the south caspian coastal plain and northern slopes of the elburz mountains at lower altitudes . ecoregion boundaries were defined using hyrcanian and sub - hyrcanian mesic forests from zohary’s ( 1973 ) geobotanical map of the middle east . there is a strong correspondence to the hyrcanian forests in davis et al . ( 1994 ) .
has been included with t . caucasicus and t . himalayensis in a “dark - bellied snowcock” group . races intergrade , and all three may be merely extremes of clinal variation # r ; species has been treated as monotypic # r . race tauricus should not be confused with another proposed taxon of identical name ( tauricus buturlin , 1933 ) , but with different type and type locality ( caucasus ; clearly in error ) # r # r . three subspecies recognized .
the caspian tiger ( panthera tigris virgata ) is now extinct . other mammals which still inhabit the area are critically endangered leopard ( panthera pardus ciscaucasica ) , lynx ( lynx lynx ) , brown bear ( ursus arctos ) , wild boar ( sus scrofa ) , wolf ( canis lupus ) , jackal ( c . aureus ) , jungle cat ( felis chaus ) , badger ( meles meles ) , and otter ( lutra lutra ) .
the mixed forests of the southern coast of the caspian sea represent a key habitat for many different species of avifauna . migratory species visit the area on stopovers between russia and africa . other species , such as little bustard ( otis tetrax ) , peregrine falcon ( falco peregrinus ) , and squacco heron ( ardeola ralloides ) use it as breeding grounds . hyrcanian forests are relicts from the tertiary . consequently , they are rich in relic and endemic plant species . several protected areas such as the gizil - agach strict nature reserve , the zuvand conservation area and girkan strict nature reserve have been set up to protect threatened flora and fauna . habitat destruction for agriculture use is the main threat to the ecoregion .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .

justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size may be moderately small to large , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the european population is estimated at 4 , 500 - 10 , 800 pairs , which equates to 9 , 100 - 21 , 700 mature individuals ( birdlife international 2015 ) . europe forms approximately 55 % of the global range so a very preliminary estimate of the global population is 16 , 500 - 39 , 500 mature individuals although further validation of this estimate is needed . the population is therefore placed in the band 16 , 000 - 39 , 999 mature individuals . trend justification : the population is declining owing to habitat degradation caused by over - grazing and , in azerbaijan , conflict and also over - hunting throughout much of its range ( del hoyo et al . 1994 ) . the population trend in europe is unknown ( birdlife international 2015 ) .
the following information refers to the habitats of the european population only . the species uses meadows in the sub - alpine and alpine zones between altitudes of 2 , 400 and 4 , 000 m ( tucker and heath 1994 ) and occasionally down to 1 , 800 m . birds are found on steep slopes lacking snow cover and gorges and crags with patches of snow and some herb and grass cover ( mcgowan 1994 ) . birds prefer south - facing slopes in summer and north - facing ones in winter . during winter they avoid areas with a covering of snow and use open ground with steppe - like vegetation instead ( tucker and heath 1994 ) . courtship usually begins in april , with laying in late april and may . typically five to nine eggs are laid ( mcgowan 1994 ) . nests are found on steep slopes in the open , beneath overhanging rocks , amongst stones or in tufts of grass ( tucker and heath 1994 ) . birds feed exclusively on plant material , particularly legumes , feeding on bulbs , flowers , fruit and seeds ( baziev 1978 ) . the species is mainly sedentary and in some areas does not even descend to lower altitudes during heavy snowfall . however some altitudinal movement has been observed in turkey ( mcgowan 1994 ) .
in europe its alpine habitat is threatened by overgrazing , which is easily reached by shepherds with guns , and with their sheep and dogs . in 1993 most of the species ' s range in azerbaijan was suffering with intensive military activity , and it was feared that poaching and the spread of long range firearms could have drastic effects ( mcgowan et al . 2015 ) .
conservation actions underway least concern ( fuller et al . 2000 ) . mace - lande : vulnerable . cites i although it is proposed for downgrading to appendix ii ( anon 2012 ) . included on ussr red list in 1978 . considered vulnerable in turkey ( kirwan et al . 2010 ) , as well as georgia , where the population , at the edge of the species ' s range is believed to be very small . the species is found in five important bird areas in armenia , five in azerbaijan , four in georgia and six in turkey ( anon 2012 ) . conservation actions proposed habitat protection is needed and an extensive survey should aim to locate healthy populations in turkey . species does not adapt well to captivity ( mcgowan et al . 1995 ) .

status . a vulnerable species of low numbers . listed in the red data book of the former ussr . listed in the iucn red list of threatened species ( ver . 3 . 1 ) as least concern . according to iucn criteria categorized as vulnerable vu b1a + 2a ; c2a ( i ) ; d1 .
distribution . the subspecies is distributed in southern and eastern turkey , lesser caucasus and south caucasus , azerbaijan and northwestern iran .
distribution in armenia . occurs in almost all upland landscapes with cliffs and rocks .
habitats . lives in high mountains , on steep slopes with rocky outcrops at 2500–3500 m above sea level .
biological traits . nestles on the ground , beneath the stones . lays eggs once a year , 5–8 / clutch . feeds on plants , searching for them on slopes .
population size and its trends . available information is insufficient to judge about the population size . the population density is 0 . 05 individuals / ha on the zangezur ridge and twice as lower on the vardenis , pambak and bazum ridges .
major threats . overgrazing , disturbance inflicted by plant gatherers and shepherd dogs , poaching .
conservation measures . habitats are partly protected in khosrov forest reserve and shikahogh reserve . listed in appendix i of the cites . it is essential to reconsider the approaches of livestock grazing in uplands , strengthen anti–poaching activities and to raise local awareness . it looks expedient to establish seasonal sanctuaries or temporary safety zones .
the territory of the talysh region is formed from paleogenic volcanic and volcanogenic - sedimentary deposits . sulfate - carbonate and hydrocarbon mineral thermal springs are common in this region . hyrcanian forests are relicts from the tertiary . consequently , they are rich in relic and endemic species .
lowland has been covered by alder ( alnus barbata ) forests : now this areas are almost totally under agricultural and urban lands . characteristic vegetation on the talysh mountain consists of humid oak forests rich in relic and endemic species . for instance , quercus castaneifolia with parrotia persica , zelkova carpinifolia , albizzia julibrissin , diospiros lotus , etc . with shrubs / semi - shrubs ilex hyrcana , ruscus hyrcanus , danaë racemosa , and lianas - smilax excelsa , hedera pastuchowii , etc . are found in the lower mountain zone . these are replaced by oriental beech forests ( fagus orientalis ) in the middle mountains . upper mountain - subalpine elevations are occupied by steppes and xeric dwarf semi - shrubs ( prilipko , 1970 ) and oriental oak ( quercus macranthera ) which is also characteristic for the elburz mountains . alpine meadows occur at the highest elevations .
biodiversity features the distinctive forests of this region include many range - restricted species as quercus castaneifolia , zelkova carpinifolia , parrotia persica , albizzia julibrissin , buxus hyrcana , danaë racemosa , etc . the region is outstanding for its rich agrobiodiversity with numerous endemic cultivated taxa .
current status the natural landscape has been considerably altered by intensive agriculture development . tea , vegetables , subtropical fruit , and vine production are main agricultural activities ( azerbaijan 1997 ) . the most important protected protected areas areas in azarbaijan part of this ecoregion are : the gizil - agach strict nature reserve ( 88 , 400 ha wetlands and marine area , designated to protect waterfowl ) , the zuvand conservation area ( 15 , 000 ha , mountain meadows and forests , designated to protect game birds , bear , leopard , and rare reptiles ) , and the girkan strict nature reserve ( 3 , 000 ha , humid thermophilous hyrcanian forests , designated to protect the unique plant communities rich in relic and endemic species ) ( vinogradov et al . 1990 ; gasanov , 1990 ) .
types and severity of threats the main threats to this ecoregion are agriculture , unsustainable forestry practices , and poaching .
