About the project

About the Project
The Swedish Golden Eagle project (Kungsörnsprojektet) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is aimed at improving the ecological knowledge on Golden eagles for their effective conservation. The project was initiated in 2010. Since then a number of studies aimed at Habitat selection, Population Ecology, Genetics, Movement, Ecotoxicology of Golden eagles are being carried out which continue to generate valuable information that serve as baseline for their conservation in Sweden. ​
More about the project

Research

The research in the Golden Eagle Project covers multiple ecological and social dimensions, with the results highly relevant for national level policy of predator management and conservation. We work closely with the agencies, authorities and industry.
