Recovery of Bonelli’s Eagle Populations (LIFEABILAS)
LIFE
- The project aims to recover the almost extinct population of Bonelli’s Eagle on the island of Sardinia and minimize the factors that harm its survival, counting on specimens bred in captivity in Spain and GREFA’s experience in this matter.
- To this end, it will contribute to the reduction of mortality through the identification, characterization and subsequent correction of power lines, the population will be reinforced with the reintroduction of specimens from the GREFA captive breeding center and radio-tagged released specimens will be monitored with GPS transmitters.

Specific goals include:
- Increase the survivability of Bonelli’s Eagle and continue its reintroduction.
- Involve society and other key sectors in the conservation of the species and raise awareness of its problems.
- Monitoring of the socioeconomic impact of the species.
- Ensure the continuity and replication of the project.
- Identification of dangerous power lines for eagles.
- Management of the copies to be released.
- Translocation of specimens to Sardinia and management of their population.
- Develop a communication strategy.
