THE BONELLI’S EAGLE DECLARED “BIRD OF THE YEAR 2005” BY SEO/BIRDLIFE

The conservacionist organization SEO/Birdlife has declared the Bonelli’s Eagle (Hieraaetus fasciatus) “bird of the year 2005”, what means that this entity will have as one of their priorities for the next years the application of conservation measures for this emblematic Mediterranean species.

Last years, the “Equip de Biologia de la Conservació-Àliga perdiguera” has closely collaborated with SEO/Birdlife in various projects of habitat management in breeding areas of the species in the littoral sierras of Barcelona. So, it’s a good new to know that this organization will contribute even more to the conservation of the eagles. We hope that it will also contribute to that many other public and private entities will involve themselves for this obtjective.

So, we desire a very good year 2005 for the Bonelli’s Eagle and all the people and the entities that watch for its conservation and their habitats.
