Slovak Military Veterinary Services Protect and Exploit Rare Species for 11 Years

摘要

In 10 seasons we have produced 122 individuals. Eighty (80) of them were returned to nature: 44 sakers (Falco cherug) and 36 peregrines (Falco peregrinus). Forty-two (42) birds of prey were deployed in Slovak Air Force Bases. At present, we have 31 breeding birds in FBC. Project of reintroduction of these rare birds of prey into Slovak environment was successful and tax payers money was returned to the people through enriched nature. Furthermore travellers by plane surely appreciate services provided by these beautiful creatures at Slovak airports where they improve flight security. This co-operation between Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Environment is the only right way of possible communication with the public.
