Cientistas alertam para risco de extinção desta ave em Portugal. A população de sisão (Tetrax tetrax), ave emblemática do Alentejo, está em declínio acentuado há mais de 20 anos. wilder.pt/historias/cien…

Published today: dramatic decline of the #LittleBustard in Portugal related to change in agricultural policy. Population is down 77% and practically extinct outside the SPA network. Urgent action needed! nature.com/articles/s4159… BIOPOLIS-CIBIO

Great initiative to determine where and how many #montagusharrier are in Portugal's agricultural and mountainous areas, combining the efforts of the government, NGOs, and volunteers. National coordination by BIOPOLIS-CIBIO

The Ministry of Agriculture declines responsibility for the decline or conservation of the #LittleBustard in Portugal. I wonder how can we reverse the steep decline of agricultural dependent species with this attitude?
