The little falcons are part of the Project activities for the return of the species in Bulgaria and once they grow up, under the warm care of their parents, they will be released in the wild.
We hope they will be the first of dozens of others which will hatch this year in the aviaries of Rescue Centre, from a total 14 couples there.
We remind that thanks to the efforts of the Green Balkans team, the species was reintroduced to our country after almost 40 years of absence.
Support this significant event, not only in Bulgaria, but also in Europe, HERE, so that the only Bulgarian project nominated this year for the LIFE Citizen's Prize 2019 of the LIFE Awards of the EU to receive the recognition it deserves.
