Taiga bean geese (ssp. fabalis) and Tundra bean geese (ssp. rossicus) are two taxa wintering in North and North-West Europe and breeding in the Arctic in different habitats (approximately taiga and tundra). HABITRACK prioritises Taiga bean geese for tag deployment because of their most unsecured conservation status and separate and fragmented movements between the flyways with little connectivity (Mitchell et al. 2016).
