Conservation measures to assist the adaptation of Falco eleonorae to climate change (LIFE13NAT/GR/909)
Objective: The project aims to facilitate Falco eleonorae adaptation to the ongoing and future climate change by the implementation of a series of conservation actions.
Basic actions:
- Implementation of population census in selected breeding colonies.
- Monitoring of breeding performance and success in these breeding colonies.
- Identification and quality assessment of the Eleonora’s Falcon foraging areas in the breeding and wintering areas, including the assessment of threats.
- Creation of artificial, well-sheltered nests in selected breeding colonies in order to increase nest quality and availability at optimal nesting sites.
- Rat eradication operations in selected breeding colonies.
- Assessment of the refueling pattern and habitats for migratory passerines on Antikythira in order to optimize the creation of the refueling area.
- Environmental education actions.
Duration of the Project: 5 years (2014-2019)
Partners: University of Patras (Coordinating Beneficiary), Hellenic ORNITHOLOGICAL Society, Nature Conservation Consultants (NCC)
