Measures in regard of environmental education and sensitisation for the ‘kings of the skies’ are a key task in the Hohe Tauern National Park's birds of prey project.
Another key task is supporting the voluntary network of observers and target groups like ornithologists, mountaineers or hunters.
The Birds of Prey newsletter can be subscribed directly on the Hohe Tauern National Park website and provides interested with news from the project.
Various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and the National Park website are always full of exciting and up-to-date reports and images about the ‘kings of the skies’.
In order to effectively protect endangered species such as the bearded vulture, it is important that protected areas, scientists, zoos and breeding centres work closely together on an international level. The Hohe Tauern National Park therefore takes part in the ‘International Bearded Vulture Meetings’, which aim to coordinate various conservation measures and present the latest results from research.
The Hohe Tauern National Park also regularly takes part at the international bird fair ‘Bird Expierence’. Furthermore, the park regularly advertises in the media and organises target group-specific educational and publicity measures.
As part of the National Park's educational programmes, excursions related to birds of prey are offered in all three parts of the National Park where rangers and interns inform national park guests about the ‘kings of the air’ on site.
