Thank you for comments.
The photo - just one in a long line - I took it in 2010 in Sicily, an island that is home to the largest population of the European Lanner Falcon (Falco biarmicus feldeggii).
The breeding site, to respond to Alchie, consisted of a nearly vertical wall, which, however, the following year did not prevent unscrupulous poachers to take the chicks, "placed", in all likelihood, on the illegal market of falconry (because of its rarity, the Lanner reaches prices much higher than the Pilgrim). The result? Since last year, the site is occupied by a pair of ravens and falcons were untraceable.
The looting of the litter is a serious threat to the conservation of this magnificent bird of prey, whose population is declining even to natural causesral. For three years, some environmental groups, gathered under the banner of Coordination for the Protection of Birds of Prey in Sicily, are engaged in an extensive monitoring and control of the sites most at risk, supported by a large group of volunteers (of which I am one). Vi ringrazio dei commenti.
La foto - solo una di una lunga serie - l'ho scattata nel 2010 in Sicilia, isola che ospita la più importante popolazione di Lanario europeo (Falco biarmicus feldeggii).
Il sito riproduttivo, per rispondere ad Alchie, era costituito da una parete quasi verticale, che, tuttavia, l'anno successivo non ha impedito a bracconieri senza scrupoli di prelevare i pulcini, "piazzati", con ogni verosimiglianza, sul mercato illegale della falconeria (per la sua rarità, il Lanario raggiunge quotazioni molto più elevate del Pellegrino). Risultato? Dall'anno scorso il sito è occupato da una coppia di corvi imperiali e dei falconi si sono perse le tracce.
Il saccheggio delle nidiate rappresenta una minaccia gravissima per la conservazione di questo splendido rapace, la cui popolazione è in declino anche per cause naturali. Da tre anni alcune associazioni ambientaliste, riunite sotto la sigla di Coordinamento per la Tutela dei Rapaci siciliani, sono impegnate in una capillare attività di monitoraggio e controllo dei siti più a rischio, sostenuta da un nutrito gruppo di volontari (di cui faccio parte). |

If we think that many of them stand as champions of nature we understand that the situation is not so rosy. Open all eyes when we become aware of them (sad for me) falconry. If you have an inkling that something is not "lawful" or even if you have the only question that can not be reporting to do forest rangers and make sure that there is a CITES control. So who is in good standing is not afraid of these controls but the dregs-falconers poachers (lego the two words do not do the whole lump) must have it below. Se poi pensiamo che molti di loro si ergono a paladini della natura capiamo che la situazione non è molto rosea. Apriamo tutti gli occhi quando veniamo a conoscenza di questi (per me tristissimi) spettacoli di falconeria. Se avete sentore che qualcosa non sia "lecita" o anche se avete il solo dubbio che possa non esserlo fate la segnalazione al corpo forestale e fate in modo che ci sia un controllo CITES. Tanto chi è in regola non teme questi controlli ma quelle feccie dei bracconieri-falconieri (lego le due parole per non fare di tutta l'erba un fascio) devono farsela sotto. |
