Description:
Excutive Summary: Based on almost 32,000 records for Ireland, the 24 species of resident damselfly and dragonfly (Odonata) are evaluated for their conservation status using International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria (IUCN, 2001, 2003). Four (17%) of the Irish species are assessed as threatened, and one species as near threatened. The populations of all five species need to be thoroughly surveyed and monitoring programmes for each initiated. Causes of the decline in each species need to be determined, existing and possible threats identified, and protective measures introduced. The remaining species are all assessed as least concern.Corporate name:
