Abstract

Veliku prijetnju biološkoj raznolikosti vrsta predstavljaju strane unesene vrste. Mala aleksandra (Psittacula krameri) izuzetno je otporna i prilagodljiva vrsta papige. Namjernim ili ne namjernim puštanjem iz kaveza, uspostavila je populacije diljem svijeta. U mnogim europskim gradovima, gdje joj je osiguran smještaj i siguran izvor hrane, predstavlja veliki problem autohtonim vrstama životinja i biljaka te uzrokuje poljoprivredne štete. Nažalost jedina uspješna metoda u suzbijanju daljnjeg širenja populacija papiga je ubijanje vatrenim oružjem. Nužna je edukacija društva o mogućim posljedicama držanja i naknadnog puštanja stranih vrsta u prirodu.

Abstract (english)

Non – native introduced species regard as a major threat to biodiversity. Ring - necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri) is an extremely resistant and adaptive parrot species. By intentional or unintentionally releasing from the cage, it has established populations around the world. In many European cities, where it is provided with accommodation and a secure source of food, it poses a major threat for native animal and plant species, also causing agricultural damage. Unfortunately, the only successful method in combating the further expansion of the parrot population, is killing it with rifles. It is necessary to educate the society about the possible consequences of keeping and subsequent release of alien species in nature.
