Since last spring, the Cévennes National Park had waited impatiently: a couple of golden eagles awaited a happy event. Since, the little eagle was watched by park officers. He was unfortunately found dead on Mont Lozère, “certainly because of dehydration and malnutrition“.
An autopsy was performed.
The Parc des Cévennes, however, has hope for the future: “it is very rare that in the first year of nesting a pair of golden eagles succeed in bringing a chick to adulthood. The scientific literature emphasizes that, with the help of experience, couples are more likely over time to have reproductive success.. “
