Comprehensive support measures

Factors such as the degradation of the habitat, the mortality related to the power line, and the plunder of pole hunting and nesting means that the Eagle population of the European Bonelli (80 % of which are found on the Iberian Peninsula) are declining. Like many day and night raptors, the sexual maturity of birds is relatively late and produces several eggs, which makes the restoration of the population more challenging.

On the island of Sardine, a wide range of measures supporting the BONELLI Eagle team include safer power cords, ensuring small reservoirs and water tanks to prevent drowning, increasing wild rabbit species, and promoting non -toxic ammunition.

The measures that support BONELLI's eagle teams on the island of Sardine include the efforts to increase the bunny population on the island.
