Key message:
The export of up to 30 wild caught white-tailed sea-eagle nestlings (Haliaeetus albicilla) from Norway to Ireland for reintroduction purposes in 2024 will not be detrimental to the survival of this species.
Thus concludes the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM).
The assignment was carried out on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency, which is the management authority for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Norway.
VKM is the scientific authority for CITES in Norway and prepares NDF (non-detriment finding) reports in accordance with the methodology published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and CITES.
