CENN is Announcing a Competition for the Conservation of One of the Rarest
Bird Species in Europe – the Imperial Eagle


.CENN is announcing a competition for the conservation of one of the rarest
bird species in Europe – the Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliacal)!



Purpose of the Competition: To raise awareness in society concerning the
importance of protecting and conserving rare species such as the Imperial
Eagle.



Content of the Competition: The Imperial Eagle inhabits the lowlands of
Eastern Georgia. The bird is classified as “vulnerable” on the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The
population of Imperial Eagles is steadily declining. Currently, the number
of nesting Imperial Eagles is 10 pairs (male and female), as opposed to 55
pairs 20-25 years ago.



Population decline can be explained by: human disturbances, cutting down
nesting trees and electricity poles, removing eggs and eaglets from the
nests, death by electric current, weather factors (e.g., wind or snow
destroying the nest), and habitat and food degradation.



Imperial Eagles lay 2-3 eggs and raise 1-2 offspring every season. Every
missed year of nesting adversely affects the population size and further
endangers the Imperial Eagle bird species.



Who Can Participate: School students from the Kakheti region can participate
in the competition, individually or in groups.



Terms of the Competition: Participants should prepare a thematic project
proposal for the competition.



Select Criteria: Precedence will be given to detailed, innovative and
sustainable activities.



Prize: CENN will award a grant of 2000 GEL (maximum) to each of the 9
winners of the competition.



Deadline: March 30, 2018



Please send a filled-out project proposal form including contact details to
the following email address: megi.gamtki...@cenn.org
