Actions and means involved
|
- Establishment of a Falco eleonorae network across Mediterranean countries and assessment of the world species population status.
- Establishment of a European clearing-house mechanism for the species in Greece.
- Implementation of the first complete world population census, which will provide baseline information for the species population and conservation status.
- To minimise human disturbance in falcon colonies by developing a wardening plan for the co-ordination of the competent public authorities in wardening of the Greek SPA sites, hosting eleonora's falcon colonies, and by implementing project specific wardening schemes in the most threatened sites.
- Formulation and implementation of an effective monitoring scheme for the species, covering the largest part of the Greek population, in 10 Greek SPA sites.
- Enhancement of breeding habitat quality and species breeding output, in key colonies, through pilot management measures.
- Assessment of primary causes of mortality for the species, such as agrochemical pollution in the foraging grounds.
- Implementation of an extensive and well focused public awareness campaign targeting various key social groups, for the conservation of Falco eleonorae in Greece.

Expected results
|
An overall improvement of the species conservation status in Greece, as well as in other Mediterranean countries (which hold the remaining global population), by increasing and upgrading the current knowledge basis for Falco eleonorae.
Improvement of the conservation capabilities for the species conservation worldwide, through the establishment of a Falco eleonorae Network(FEN) and clearing - house mechanism. A significant improvement in the conservation status of the 10 of the most important Greek SPA sites, hosting more than 30% of the species global population.
