SUCCESS IN THE RECOVERY OF THE ZEPA COLONY OF SAN VICENTE DE ALCÁNTARA: FROM 0 TO 12 PAIRS IN 4 YEARS OF WORK

As part of the LIFE-ZEPAURBAN project a specific action (C3) was defined to reinforce the urban ZEPA of San Vicente de Alcántara. This action was initiated in 2018 and was carried out by means of a captive breeding programme and a programme of releases in the enclave.

In 2020 the census recorded a total of 5 lesser kestrel pairs established in the urban ZEPA of San Vicente de Alcántara.  A year later in 2021 a total of 12-13 established pairs were found.
