Each year, our Lanner falcons amaze us with the distance and speed at which they traverse their territory. To increase the chances of successful independence, we continuously monitor their movements, intervening when necessary to give them the opportunity to learn how to fend for themselves.

What happened in the municipality of Osimo (AN) is a criminal act that jeopardizes the success of the repopulation project funded by Life LANNER. Like Carlotta, who is still alive in the province of Rome, and Camilla, who died from electrocution in Sicily, Calogero had also reached his autonomy after the challenging release process using […]
