Alcaria: the Iberian-Imperial-Eagle that will tell us its location

The Iberian Imperial Eagle, which was later nicknamed Alcaria, was released in Alcaria Ruiva at the end of March.

It was rescued about 3 months ago and recovered at LXCras- Centre for the recovery of wild animals, a structure of the Lisbon City Hall.

A GPS transmitter was placed on the eagle’s back, financed by the Portugal Wildscapes Conservation Fund, in the scope of our partnership with the Parque Natural do Vale do Guadiana – ICNF.

This conservation action will allow us to follow the eagle’s movements and learn about its ecological and dispersal habits. In the future, when it reaches sexual maturity, it will allow us to understand which territories it will choose to nest in.
