The Botanical Garden of Cordoba has been this Monday, November 29, the meeting point of the different sectors involved in the conservation of the Iberian imperial eagle of Spain.

Currently, the Land Stewardship Network is made up of three sub-networks that bring together owners of private farms and municipal teams committed to the conservation of the species and heads of educational centers that are committed to the education of schoolchildren for the conservation of nature. In total, it is made up of more than 16,000 hectares of land owned by private owners, more than 100 municipalities, including Cordoba, and more than 70 schools, all of them located in the distribution area of this seriously endangered species in Andalusia, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León and Madrid.

In recognition of the commitment and effort that the different sectors are making to help in the conservation of the Iberian imperial eagle, during this first meeting in Cordoba, panels, plaques and diplomas have been delivered to several owners, representatives of municipalities and heads of schools adhered to the Stewardship Network. The prizes of the 2nd plastic arts contest ‘Imagine… An imperial eagle’, aimed at students in 5th and 6th grade of primary school and 1st and 2nd year of secondary school.
