After the releases of the past years, we realized that the instrumentation available on the market was not completely suitable for our purposes. VHF radios used for “close” surveys have proven useless in the long term due to their limited lifespan. GPSs, on the other hand, suffer from the problem of being able to send […]
A new video from the LIFE LANNER project was released today on Internet. The video shows various phases of the vegetation cutting operations carried out as part of the C.4 action, managed by the Province of Viterbo. This action was planned to increase the surface area of open areas in northern Lazio that are suitable […]
LIFE LANNER demonstrates, in the international scientific journal PLOS ONE, the genetic uniqueness of the Lanner falcon and the urgency of its preotection A paper just published in the international journal PLOS ONE, completely developed by Project staff, revealed the remarkable genetic diversity of an endagered Falcon, the Lanner, which our European project deals with. […]
In early November 2023 project manager Stefano Picchi presented the LIFE LANNER project to the participants of the Eurosite 2023 annual meeting, focusing on the theme of “identity-based conservation for large-scale nature restoration”. The event was held in Amiens, France and included several thematic workshops, field visits and attracted nearly 120 participants from over 20 […]

The 21st Italian Ornithology Conference took place in Varese from 5 to 9 September, and has been organized by the University of Insubria, the Insubria Ornithological Group and the Italian Center for Ornithological Studies. Here Italian and foreign ornithologists exhibited their works on various topics, including bird migration, climate change, agriculture, urbanization and conservation of […]
After some failures in the first release attempts, finally one of the methodologies used by the project to release Lanners seems to have worked out. Ambra, a female Lanner was first released in 2022 with the stardard Hacking metholodogy, but was rescued shortly after showing signs of starvation. After its first difficulties shown in hunting, […]
After the first months of relative stability in the same territory in the west of Rome, the Lanner Ambra, a juvenile female release in March 2023 has started exploring central Italy. Probably also pushed by the scorching heat of the summer, she explored the mountains of Rieti and then moved to the hills in the […]
Our video-maker Andrea Benvenuti has accomplished the two first videos related to the project. One of these videos show the genetic works done by the IZS in the determination of genetical structure of Lanner populations in central Italy and in the rescue centres of Italy The second video shows how the ornithologists of Ornis italica […]
