The Biological Mission of Galicia (dependent on the Spanish National Research Council, and in turn a beneficiary of LIFE GLOBAL) has begun to carry out the adaptive management actions for the future conservation of the habitat of avifauna species in the SPA A Limia (Galicia, Spain). This group of actions is considered a set of best practices that follow the most recent protocols in the scientific literature regarding the improvement of the conservation status of the present avifauna populations, and which contribute to maintaining, or where applicable increasing, their population numbers.

During this period, the first works carried out have been the control of competing vegetation, the management of natural vegetation, and the sowing of native legumes in this locality (Trifolium subterraneum, Medicago polymorpha, Ornithopus sativus), which are of high interest for the feeding of three bird species catalogued as endangered in Galicia: the Eurasian stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus), the Northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus), and the little bustard (Tetrax tetrax), the latter also with the highest threat category in Spain and the European Union.

The action is being carried out on the lands of the Community-held Common Land of Vilar de Gomareite, in the municipality of Vilar de Barrio (Ourense, Spain), thanks to a prior agreement for the establishment of single compensatory payments with the local landowners for the transfer of use rights during a period of 30 years, which will allow the long-term maintenance of the improvements established by the project.
