The initiative aims to bring the population of rural areas closer to the world of conservation of wild species, making them feel convinced of a more sustainable model of management and use of their farms, and that is exportable to others in the environment.

The initiative aims to bring the population of rural areas closer to the world of conservation of wild species, making them feel convinced of a more sustainable model of management and use of their farms, and that is exportable to others in the environment.

The project seeks to actively involve ranchers, farmers and hunters who own five farms in two designated Natura 2000 areas (Sierra Grande de Hornachos and Campiña Sur-Arroyo Conejos Reservoir). On the farms, about 120 orphaned chicks of 10 different species of diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey will be released using the hacking technique.

In this way, through awareness and direct observation of the impact that their attitudes and actions have on fauna, it is possible to contribute to the implementation of good practices in these protected areas that make their rural farms more sustainable. In short, it is about improving the awareness of the rural population about their important role in the conservation of wildlife species.

To this end, a visit to the AMUS wildlife rehabilitation center will be organized for 120 people linked to rural farms and their closest relatives, in order to involve them in the recovery process of 40 birds sponsored by them until the moment of their release.
