The concerted and systematic collaboration of scientific disciplines, state authorities, and the public is indispensable for the conservation of endangered species. Species Action Plans serve precisely this purpose, outlining the threatening factors and the objectives and measures of the action program implemented for their protection.
Although summer has barely passed, one of the most spectacular events in the world of wildlife, the autumn bird migration, is already well underway. There are species that have already set off during August, but there are also those that are just getting ready for the long journey to their wintering grounds.
This year two short-toed snake eagle chicks have been fitted with identification rings within the area of the Kiskunság National Park Directorate. This cautious species despite its relatively large body size, builds surprisingly small nests high in pine trees, where finding them is a challenge for experts. Feeding almost exclusively on reptiles, little is known about their ecology and behaviour due to their secretive lifestyle.
