DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TRADITIONAL USES

The recent changes in the Mediterranean ambiences where the eagles live, such as the disappearance of ancestral activities for the natural resources development (agriculture and mountain cattle, forest traditional activities), have provoked a general increase of the vegetable coverage, the decrease of open areas and consistently of the preys which feed the eagles, a fact that has turned out to be also aggravated by untenable hunting strategies.

The increase of woodland areas originates an important loss of biodiversity and concretely of those Mediterranean species more scarce and with a higher conservationist value.
