Changes in the waterbird community of the Lake Sevan–Lake Gilli area, Republic of Armenia: a case for restoration
Waterbird species richness (Gaviiformes, Podicipediformes, Pelecaniformes, Ciconiiformes, Phoenicopteriformes, Falconiformes, Anseriformes, Gruiformes, Charadriiformes, Passeriformes) has been significantly affected by a 19.5 m lowering of the water level in Lake Sevan (1933–2000), and the complete...

| description | Waterbird species richness (Gaviiformes, Podicipediformes, Pelecaniformes, Ciconiiformes, Phoenicopteriformes, Falconiformes, Anseriformes, Gruiformes, Charadriiformes, Passeriformes) has been significantly affected by a 19.5 m lowering of the water level in Lake Sevan (1933–2000), and the complete draining of nearby Lake Gilli (1960–2000) in the Republic of Armenia. Twenty-three former breeders are currently nonbreeders in the area. Four former breeders (black stork
Ciconia nigra, glossy ibis
Plegadis falcinellus, white-winged scoter
Melanitta fusca, little crake
Porzana parva) have been extirpated from the area. Four former nonbreeders (cattle egret
Bubulcus ibis, red-breasted goose
Branta ruficollis, sociable lapwing
Chettusia gregaria, lesser black-backed gull
Larus fuscus) have been absent from the area for at least 20 years. The red-breasted merganser
Mergus serrator is the only former nonbreeder discovered breeding in the Lake Sevan basin. We recommend that management plans of the 1960s and 1970s be used to further develop and enact new efforts to increase the water level of Lake Sevan by at least 6 m, and that Lake Gilli and its surrounding wetlands be restored as a means of increasing waterbird species richness overall, and protecting regional populations of globally threatened or near-threatened species (Dalmatian pelican
Pelecanus crispus, red-breasted goose
Branta ruficollis, ferruginous pochard
Aythya nyroca, white-headed duck
Oxyura leucocephala, corn crake
Crex crex, great snipe
Gallinago media, black-winged pratincole
Glareola nordmanni, white-tailed eagle
