The Conservation Biology Group is a research group associated to the Department of Animal Biology of the University of Barcelona that works in research applied to the conservation of the terrestrial Mediterranean ecosystems, with special attention to threatened species like the Bonelli's eagle (Aquila fasciata).

The objective of the Conservation Biology Group is the conservation of the Mediterranean ecosystems and its species by means of applied research, application of conservation measures and divulgation.

HIGHLIGHTED: The Conservation Biology Group launched a new website: https://www.ub.edu/biologiaconservacio/

On the new website you will find updated contents on the tasks conducted by our Group. While some of the contents are not yet available on the new website, the old website will remain open provisionally. Thank you very much!
