Antidote program

The use of poison in the natural environment is legally prohibited at community (EU), state (Spain) and autonomous (CCAA) level. The illegal use of poisons has become, together with land use change, unsustainable use of natural resources and habitat fragmentation, one of the main threats to the conservation and survival of many wild species.

SOS Platform for power lines

The SOS Tendidos Eléctricos Platform is made up of nine organizations related to nature conservation, and was created, after a series of previous actions that have placed the true dimension of the problem of power lines, with the main objective of alerting public opinion and administrations about the seriousness of the problem of electrocution and collision of birds in power lines, today, the main cause of unnatural death faced by our most endangered bird species.

LIFE + RED Quebrantahuesos Project

The Bearded Vulture became extinct in the Picos de Europa in the mid-20th century, with the last reproduction data dating back to the 1960s.
