New news, Capercaillie

A new web page about the Capercaillie. A spectacular bird very threatened in Spain.

Money for nothing

The Capercaillie is one of the more threatened species of Spain. 

A few hundreds birds survive in the Cantabrian cornice. 

Again an economic investment to try to save this emblematic species. 

A million Euros until the 2014.

Without a doubt, that million Euros will not be reversed in paralyzing projects of ski resorts, nor new infrastructures, although this is what possibly more it affects the loss of habitat of the capercaillie and the survival of this specie.

The Capercaillies disappear in Asturias.

The census of the Principality disclose that in center-orients the population has decrease a 90% in ten years and they are only 3 males - the guards will carry out another count, to collate the ominous numbers and to clarify if other two Capercailles exist.
The populations of the west are possible that they are better.
The census in the west will be next year, and the experts hope that there are at least 50 males
