Description
Connor Panter and a team of co-authors checked if safe zones cover red kites in winter farm land. Their study, from twenty twenty-six, deals with protected areas in Europe. Such zones aim to shield wildlife from human harm. Red kites are safe round the globe but near loss in parts of their range, like Spain. Where they spend winter next to safe zones was not known.
The team tracked one hundred three kites with GPS tags over one hundred eighty winters. They set the birds' winter ranges against the zone map. Cover proved patchy for a bird that hunts wide farm land. Readers who plan wildlife zones learn that fixed plots can miss wide ranging winter birds.
