A species of eagle has taken to avoiding the conflict in Ukraine while moving along its migration route, according to reports.
“The war in Ukraine has had a devastating impact on people and the environment. Our findings provide a rare window into how conflicts affect wildlife,” lead author Charlie Russell, a postgraduate researcher at the University of East Anglia, told the outlet.
The eagles commonly move through Ukraine on their way to Belarus, beginning their journey in either Greece or the southern part of Sudan. The research noted the eagles now frequent “fewer stopover sites and making large route deviations” because of the conflict, with some deviations averaging 52 miles, which the research says can negatively affect the health of the birds.
“For a vulnerable species like this, anything that disrupts breeding performance is a major problem,” Jim Reynolds, a professor of ornithology and animal conservation at the University of Birmingham,International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species . “Vulnerable” is one step above “endangered,” and the greater spotted eagle’s population is now in decline, with more than 10,000 mature eagles in existence.
