hér á landi en þrátt fyrir veiðarnar hefur stofninn vaxið á undanförnum árum. Samkvæmt<br />
Bernarsamningnum þarfnast helsingi friðunar í Evrópu og ber að leggja sérstaka áherslu á<br />
að vernda búsvæði hans.<br />
English summary: The Barnacle Goose has bred in lceland in very small numbers since<br />
1964. In late summer 1999 the total population was estimated at 80-90 individuals,<br />
including 8 breeding pairs. The species is also a common passage migrant from northeastern<br />
Greenland. Hunting is permitted from 1 September to 15 March except in Vestur- and Austur-<br />
Skaftafellssýsla where there is an open season from 25 September to 15<br />
March. The most immediate dangers to the<br />
breeding population are from disfurbance at the<br />
breeding grounds (both from man and from<br />
predatory wild animals like the Arctic Fox).<br />
