Main Threats       

Falco eleonorae faces a number of serious threats that must be addressed and tackled in order to ensure the species' long-term protection. The most serious threats concerning its breeding, feeding and roosting habitats, as well as the species itself are the following:
  • Insufficient knowledge on the species population status resulting in the lack of co-ordinated species oriented conservation actions.
  • Lack of co-ordination among competent authorities for SPA protection in Greece
  • Human disturbance on breeding colonies
  • Habitat degradation and agrochemical bio-accumulation in the species tissues.
  • Reduced breeding success due to predation
  • Low level of public awareness for the species conservation
Most of the above-mentioned threats were addressed through the actions of the project.
