The research
project “Habitat and threat assessment as a basis for the protection
of the globally threatened Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus
paludicola in its wintering grounds in the Djoudj National Park
area, Senegal” is being realised by Cosima Tegetmeyer (diploma
landscape ecologist. University of Greifswald, Germany) at the only
current known Aquatic Warbler wintering site located in the Djoudj
area in Senegal. A landscape-ecological analysis of the habitats is
carried out in this PhD study. The aim is to identify key factors of
habitat choice of the Aquatic Warbler in Africa. The results will
further help to develop adequate management measures for
preservation of designated Aquatic Warbler habitats and to
eventually find further wintering grounds in Western Africa.
