The initiative offers all the information about the Cantabrian capercaillie and facilitates the participation of society in its conservation. In addition, it allows users to download technical and informative documents about the project, as well as images and videos representative of the subspecies and its habitat.

The website of the LIFE+ Cantabrian Capercaillie (http://www.lifeurogallo.es/) project is now operational to offer all the available information on the objectives, actions and progress of the project, whose objective is the conservation of this subspecies exclusive to the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, in danger of extinction, and promote its recovery.

This Internet space aims to offer new information on the Cantabrian capercaillie and facilitate the participation of society in its conservation. To do this, the user can subscribe to the project’s periodic newsletter, send their opinion directly to the LIFE+ Cantabrian Capercaillie team or participate in the volunteering activities that will be carried out within the framework of the project.

In addition, the website has a section in which the public tenders for the contracting of the actions of the LIFE+ project will be disseminated, with which it is intended to improve the conservation status of the Cantabrian capercaillie and that of its habitat, promote knowledge and problems of the subspecies and encourage awareness and participation in society.
