Goals
The main goal of this project is to help the conservation of Bonelli's eagle, by acting upon the threats which affect the tree nesting population of Southern Portugal. Therefore, the project aims at:
- Decreasing adult and juvenile mortality and increasing productivity, thus having a positive influence on the species population dynamics.
- Improving habitat management by creating more favorable conditions for the target species and, subsequently, for other priority species.
- Monitoring the Bonelli's eagle population targeted by the project.
- Involving stakeholders who act upon the landscape (farmers, hunters, foresters, central/regional/local administration officers and businessmen) in conservation actions, assigning them significant and valued roles and, therefore, mobilizing these members of the community to take an active part on the conservation of biodiversity in general and of the target species in particular.
- Increasing public awareness about the need and importance of making economic activities and nature conservancy compatible, by passing on concepts and values like biodiversity, the Natura 2000 network and sustainable development.
- Demonstrating the value of natural heritage and traditional activities, as well as the economic and social relevance of their preservation.
- Promoting complementary regulations based on the achievements of the project actions.
