Does the Release of Bonelli’s Eagles from Captive Breeding Nucleus Contribute to Population Rehabilitation? by Asaf Mayrose

“…During the late 1960s, the Bonelli’s Eagle (Aquila fasciata) population in Israel was brought to the brink of extinction, due to a combination of factors. A rehabilitation program set in 2000 included few measures, among them the release of eaglets from a captive breeding nucleus, producing two to seven eaglets yearly. …”
