Biomonitoring using birds of prey as sentinel species has been mooted a way to evaluate the success European Union directives that are designed protect people and environment across Europe from industrial contaminants pesticides. No such pan-European evaluation currently exists. Coordination large scale monitoring would require harmonisation multiple countries types samples collected analysed-matrices vary in ease with which they can be information provide. We report first ever assessment...
Biomonitoring using raptors as sentinels can provide early warning of the potential impacts contaminants on humans and environment also a means tracking success associated mitigation measures. Examples include detection heavy metal-induced immune system impairment, PCB-induced altered reproductive impacts, toxicity with lead in shot game. Authorisation such releases implementation is now increasingly delivered through EU-wide directives but there little established pan-European monitoring to...
The blood lead of 23 griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) trapped in 2003 was analyzed order to evaluate exposure the vulture population Cazorla Natural Park (in southern Spain).

Birds of prey, owls and falcons are widely used as sentinel species in raptor biomonitoring programmes. A major current challenge is to facilitate large-scale by coordinating contaminant monitoring activities building capacity across countries. This requires sharing, dissemination adoption best practices addressed the Networking Programme Research Monitoring for with Raptors Europe (EURAPMON) now being advanced ongoing international COST Action European Raptor Biomonitoring Facility.
