The new proposal of extension of the Network Natura 2000 in Catalunya

The Department of Environment and Housing of the Generalitat de Catalunya presented some few weeks ago the new proposal of extension of the Network Natura 2000.

In relation to the adjustment of this new boundary to the conservation necessities that require the Catalan population of Bonelli’s eagle, it is precise to value as positive the increase of surface protected of the nesting areas, specially in the province of Tarragona, and the inclusion of connection areas between these. In spite of that, important areas of hunting of many territories have not been included and, mainly, an insufficient protection of the main areas of dispersion of the young eagles is observed, specially in the province of Lleida.

If someone wishes more detailed information about the new boundary of the spaces included in this last proposal, it can be consulted in the website:
