The LIFE ConRasi project (LIFE14 NAT/IT/001017) made the news recently when a team of Italian and Spanish ornithologists working in in Sicily attached GPS transmitters to eight young eagles to monitor them and help put an end to poaching. In articles published on 17 June, the national newspapers La Repubblica and Il Corriere della Sera applauded the work of the LIFE ConRasi project describing it as, “the most effective safeguard operation of the wonderful predator,” the Bonelli eagle (Aquila fasciata). Extinct across mainland Italy, the Bonelli eagle only survives in Sicily.
