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 […]
For the two lanners born in this 2023 breeding season at the CRAS Lago di Vico, it’s time to say goodbye to their parents, Sirio and Penelope, who were impeccable in their first breeding experience!
