For
this reason Bonelli´s Eagle is included in the annex 1 of the
guidelines established by the European Union for the protection of the
most threatened birds in this territory (EU Wild Bird Directive
79/409/CEE, 91/244/CE and 94/C241/08). This fact indicates that, in
addition to being a species protected in the whole European Union, the
member states have the obligation to take action to guarantee the
conservation of its populations and habitats. Likewise,
it is included in the "Red book of the vertebrates of Spain ",
in the category IN DANGER, and in the “National Catalogue of
Threatened Species " in the category VULNERABLE. For this reason
the laws of the Spanish state (Royal decree 3181/1980) and of Catalonia
(Law 3/1988 of protection of the animals) grant him the category of
protected species. The
SPEC categories (Species of European Conservation Concern) determine the
state of conservation of the species of birds present in the whole
Europe, in relation to the plenty of their European populations and to
their distribution, both on the European and the world level. Among the
different SPEC categories (1-4) there are stipulated different levels of
threat of the species according to the number of pairs present in Europe
and of the demographic tendency of their population (Tucker and Healt
1994).
