The peregrine falcon, a predator that can reach speeds of up to 240 kilometers per hour in dive flight, is the featured species. Since 2001, 23 golden eagles have been returned to the wild through conservation programs. This data indicates an ongoing effort to recover this bird of prey species in Portugal.
Now, conservationists are preparing to release two more golden eagle specimens in the Peneda-Gerês National Park, in northern Portugal. This protected area is one of the natural habitats for these birds in Portuguese territory.
The article does not provide additional details about the health status of the released birds, the reason they were found or captured, or about the costs or methods used in this reintroduction program.
