Restoring eagles to the skies of Wales ...

The Eagle Reintroduction Wales (ERW) project is looking into the feasibility of bringing our lost eagle species back to soaring the skies of modern Wales. While Welsh culture is shaped by leeks, daffodils, and dragons, eagles are also part of our Welsh heritage, biodiversity, and culture! Both the Golden Eagle/Eryr euraid and the White-tailed Eagle/Eryr y mor were once a common sight across the skies of historic Wales and much of the UK.

Despite an abundance of suitable habitats for both species in Wales, our landscape has been bare of breeding eagles for over 150 years. This exciting project, led by Welsh Raptor Conservationist Dr. Sophie-lee Williams is gathering scientific evidence and collating a research case to present to statutory conservation agencies to restore these magnificent species back to their historic Welsh homes.
