Séminaire lundi 7 octobre 2019 – A life of Ospreys

Le lundi 7 octobre 2019 à 11h, Roy Dennis (Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation [1]) présentera en salle Jean-Paul Taris un séminaire en anglais intitulé « A life os Ospreys » ; l’accès est libre et sans inscription.

Résumé

Roy Dennis’s talk will explore the conservation management of ospreys in Scotland and the UK, rising from one pair in the 1950s to over 300 pairs.

It initially involved nest protection, followed by an increasing use of artificial nest building to increase productivity and extend range. In 1996 the first translocation was carried out based on the American model; it has since been refined and is now being used successfully in the latest project in southern England.

Six other translocation projects have been initiated in mainland Europe and it is now an important method for restoring breeding ospreys to their full former range in southern Europe.
