Two golden eagle chicks arrive at the National Park to help recover the species

Alto Minho8 September 2026 at 14:45

Two golden eagle chicks arrived at the Peneda-Gerês National Park, as part of a conservation program for this species which is classified as Endangered in Portugal. The chicks were born on June 8 at Gaia Biological Park and were subsequently transported to the national park.

The conservation program is managed by the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) in collaboration with the Spanish non-governmental organization GREFA – Grupo de Rehabilitación de la Fauna Autóctona y su Hábitat.

Currently, there are approximately 65 breeding pairs of golden eagles in the wild in Portugal. The populations of this species in the Marão and Alvão mountain ranges, as well as in the Peneda-Gerês National Park itself, lost their breeding pairs around 2007, which reinforces the need for ongoing actions to recover the bird's presence in the region.
