A bird expert has warned that the lapwing population on Jæren is at a critical level. Without intervention, the species could vanish from the area within two decades. To address the decline, officials have launched a large-scale count of lapwings on Jæren.
The survey aims to gather data to determine the most effective conservation measures. The specific causes of the population drop and the current number of lapwings remain unclear. The expert behind the warning has not been named, and the results of the count are not yet available.
