Life Eurokite Project
Since 2019, SEO/Birdlife has been participating in the Life Eurokite project, an initiative of 26 countries to learn better about the threats that appear about the Milan Real” Types cataloged as in the danger of extinction in our countryand contribute to reducing the causes of the death of the European population.
Thanks to the monitoring of birds marked with GPS emitters, the distribution and food areas, as well as their journeys, can be determined much more accurately, as well as their journeys, facilitating the detection and identification of threats that influence the speciesAnd all this also thanks to the participation of public administrations and environmental agents of our territory.
Since the Life Eurokite project started, the NGO has GPS devices placed on more than 70 royal thousands, Of those who died about 30% for various causes, where the main cause is poisoning, followed by collision with wind turbines and electricity lines, electrocution and abuse.
These causes of mortality coincide, In order of interest in those identified by income in fauna recovery centers. The information that is revealed by this monitoring ensures that much greater detects the importance of each with much lower bias.
