Objectives
To what extent do raptors play a central role in the ecosystem, and what can we learn about their role in the ecology of a biotope by examining their droppings?
Participants will explore these questions by analyzing prey skeletons and rejection pellets. During a visit to the forest, they will learn to distinguish between the most common diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey, and the adaptations to their hunting habits and way of life. Thanks to an interactive exhibition, they learn more about the protection of birds of prey and the importance of varied habitats.
Subjects:
Dissection of pellets, habitat, prey, species protection
