heal.abstractDespite an overall recovery of large European raptor populations, the Greek Golden Eagle population is Endangered. Poisoning from baits set illegally for carnivore control is known as an important mortality factor, impacting a wider avian scavenger assemblage in our study area. We analysed Golden Eagle mortality data from northern Greece for the last 35 years, including the fates of 29 satellite-tagged individuals from the last decade. Poisoning accounted for 65% of the overall mortality, the highest percentage recorded globally for any eagle population. Known fate survival models from telemetry data revealed 0.78 and 0.85 annual survival rates for immature and adults, respectively (the lowest reported in telemetry studies), improving markedly when censored for poisoning mortality. Poisoning happened disproportionally close to protected areas, more often in areas with high carnivore livestock depredation and almost exclusively in winter when eagles are more likely to scavenge. Golden Eagles were poisoned usually by directly feeding on carcasses and offal baits laced predominantly with illegal toxic substances. Electrocution was the second most important cause of mortality, and collision with turbines has also been recorded, with the proliferation of wind farms in eagle habitats impending. An urgent response is required to reverse the population’s decline, mainly against the illegal use of poisoned baits, across prevention policy, legislative and enforcement levels. We discuss the conservation implications in our findings and propose specific measures towards this direction, such as improving livestock husbandry, further capacity building for wildlife crime investigation and reforms in relevant legislation.en
