The LIFE Lanner app to report Lanner recoveries is finally online

The app for wildlife rescue centres is ready

The LIFE Lanner app is online here: https://lifelanner.izslt.it/. The database is meant to collect information on recoveries of lanner falcons and other similar species. It is accessible by wildlife rescue centres upon request. All information on the project can be found at the previous link.

This precious tool was created by our partner IZSLT (Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Lazio and Tuscany), and will allow us to monitor lanner falcon recoveries in wildlife rescue centres throughout Italy.

A network of rescue centres for the protection of the Lanner falcon

The creation of a network of rescue centres, which collaborate to gather data on lanner recoveries nation-wide, is one of the main objectives of the Project (Action C7) and has the purpose of making clear the causes of injury and the determinants of diseases or mortality in the lanner and other similar raptors, such as peregrine falcon, Eleonora’s falcon, saker falcon and gyrfalcon. Building on the valuable work of rescue centres is critical to inform national actions to combat the poaching of wild birds. Through the app it is also possible to contribute by sending biological samples (such as feathers or other tissues) to the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Lazio and Tuscany for the execution of genetic analyses.
