About Us
In 2015 IUCN-Med started cooperation activities with North African countries to address the conservation of raptors in the region, highlighting the threat that the electricity cables pose to birds. In this regard, several meetings and workshops were held in Spain, Morocco and Tunisia to promote practical training and knowledge exchange between experts and managers in the Mediterranean region.
