Morocco Birds Arrive in Spain for Conservation
The article concerns the reintroduction of a rare bird species, the Andalusian Turnix, in Spain through a project coordinated between Morocco and Spain. Eighteen birds from Morocco arrived at the Algeciras port in September and were transferred to a biodiversity conservation center with the aim of breeding and raising them in captivity in order to reintroduce them into their historic habitats along the Andalusian coast. The project aims to establish a population capable of reproduction and preserving genetic diversity, as the bird has become extinct in Spain and faces threats from urban expansion and agriculture. Future campaigns are also planned to collect additional samples and to establish a second breeding center in Casablanca, all to support reintroduction efforts and the conservation of the species.
