Investigate the breeding biology and resource requirements of the black harrier, with a view to improving management strategies to meet its conservation needs. Changes in the distribution of breeding pairs of harriers could be an indicator of habitat degradation. The project will involve landowners and include post-graduate students.

Strategic Direction: 1 Support civil society involvement in the establishment of protected areas and management plans in biodiversity corridors
