English Abstract

State Forest Service has been carrying out a reintroduction project of Raven Corvus c. corax in the Monte Velino-Montagna della Duchessa Natural Reserve. Physical and vegetational features of Reserves are outlined. Feasibility studies showed high potential for the species in the area, where the Raven disappeared in the last decades. The Ravens to reintroduce were collected as nestlings from Calabria region. First birds were released in 1991 and in spring 1995 first nidifi- cation was reported. At present 6 breeding pairs occur and recolonization of cen- tral Appennines goes on. Reproductive data are outlined.
