The Eagle Conservation Alliance (ECA), a global partnership of experts working to conserve eagles, is the first international organization focused exclusively on eagle conservation. The mission of the ECA is to share and enhance resources and knowledge in order to cooperatively understand and conserve the world of eagles. The primary goals are to improve management for conservation of existing eagle populations; recover and, when appropriate, reintroduce eagles to nature; conduct research; provide global advice and technical support; develop and distribute information; integrate native communities into conservation efforts, fundraise for priority initiatives; and build capacity for training in science and eagle management. ...

Der Verband wurde 1981 zum Schutz unserer heimischen Eulen gegründet. Er führt mit Unterstützung der schleswig-holsteinischen Landesregierung Artenschutzprogramme für folgende Eulenarten im Lande durch: Raufußkauz (Aegolius funereus), Sperlingskauz (Glaucidium passerinum), Steinkauz (Athene noctua), Schleiereule (Tyto alba) und Uhu (Bubo bubo). Damit trägt der Landesverband Eulen-Schutz in Schleswig-Holstein ganz wesentlich zur Erfüllung der Verpflichtungen bei, die sich aus den europäischen Naturschutzrichtlinien (FFH und EG-Vogelschutzrichtlinie) ergeben. ...

For a long time breeding Bearded Vultures in captivity seemed almost impossible. Before the first successful reproductions at the Alpenzoo Innsbruck it was only in the twenties that a pair at Sofia Zoo had successfully raised chicks. One of the main problems was the difficulty in distinguishing male and female Bearded Vultures by external features. This hampered the formation of pairs. Because in the case when two males are put together, these behave like a pair, but, obviously, they produce no eggs. Today, by using new techniques, sex determination has become much easier. Within the project, all young Bearded Vultures are raised exclusively by parent birds. Raising by human "foster-parents" would lead to irreversible behavioural deficiencies. Only through the cooperation of zoos from all over Europe did the reintroduction project become possible. In some of these zoos today "grandchildren" of the first Bearded Vulture pairs are already breeding. Currently about 100 Bearded Vultures belong to the breeding stock of the project. The four release sites - situated at a distance of about 200-300 km from each other - are almost all in national parks or nature reserves. Bearded Vultures once occurred at each site. Also today, virtually unchanged natural habitats and extensive cliffs provide optimal conditions for Bearded Vultures. Large populations of chamois, red deer and ibex are a particular feature of the four sites. ... [Information of the supplier]

Database of Migratory Species at Global scale (4344 species, 5500 literature references, Internet-Links, data on distribution and migration behaviour, 1174 GIS-maps, Threat Analysis) - Migratory species are an important dynamic component of biodiversity. The conservation and protection of these species requires international cooperation. However, the level of knowledge we have is not sufficient and information is immensely scattered. Today we can only estimate the number of migratory species within a vast range of 5000 and 10000. GROMS consolidates and summarises all available information and the current states of knowledge into a relational database. It supports a Geographic Information system (GIS) interface and permits various search options for novice users and for experts. The GROMS database is structured to provide an additional tool for fact finding and decision-making by the CMS bodies and related regional Agreements as well as the Convention on Biological Diversity. To this effect, the database is designed to supply information on migratory species, their distribution map, population and bibliography. The current multilingual database contains 4,344 migratory vertebrates species, with their threat and protection status (International Red List), protection status (after CMS and CITES) as well as migration types and more than 5,500 literature citations. ...

InfoNatura provides conservation status, taxonomic, and distribution information for over 6,000 bird, mammal, and amphibian species in Latin America and the Caribbean. InfoNatura represents a "snapshot" of dynamic data that are continually being refined in NatureServe's central databases. We update InfoNatura one to two times each year to reflect new data from refined geographic surveys, the latest taxonomic treatments, and any new conservation status assessments. Future versions of InfoNatura will include data for additional taxonomic groups such as reptiles. ... [Information of the supplier]
