Abstract

Lebanon is situated on one of the most important lines of migration in the world, the African-Eurasian Flyway. Unfortunately, millions of birds are killed/taken each year in an illegal way. Some of them were retained from poachers or reported by environmental activists or civilian as alive, transmitted to the Raptor Rescue Center managed by the Lebanese Association for Migratory Birds to follow a program of rehab and release after achieving a successful assessment of state of health with a GPS tracker on their back, to monitor the choice of their second chanced life. None of the birds continued his migration, the Black Kite Milvus migran went to Syria and came back to the Lebanese bords. The Short-toed Snake Eagle Circaetus gallicus stayed roaming in the area until the GPS tracker shutdown.
