The expectation that the Peregrine Falcon will end up breeding in Maresme is of value for the fauna of the region, since it would add a new species at this time of loss of biodiversity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Maresme Circular<\/strong>, the brand of the Maresme Waste Consortium<\/strong>, and the Triops Divulgaci\u00f3 Association<\/strong> have installed a nesting box<\/strong> on the chimney of the incinerator of the Maresme Integrated Waste Recovery Centre in Matar\u00f3 to facilitate the breeding of the peregrine falcon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) is a rare species of bird of prey with a high conservation value<\/strong> which returned to Barcelona more than two decades ago after becoming extinct in the region during the 1970s, and which in recent years has been spreading throughout the metropolitan area.<\/p>\n
Tall buildings and structures, such as the incinerator’s 45-metre-high<\/strong> chimney, are ideal for nesting. In addition, the incinerator is located in an open space<\/strong> with an abundant population of pigeons<\/strong>, the most common prey in the Peregrine’s diet, which would also help the potential breeding of this species.<\/p>\n
The expectation that the falcon will end up breeding in the Maresme is of value for the fauna of the region, since it would add a new species<\/strong> at this time of biodiversity loss; something that is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG #15) of the 2030 Agenda<\/strong>. In addition, it could also be key to the biological control of some pests<\/strong>, as falcons feed on pigeons, turtle doves and parrots.<\/p>\n
In this way, Maresme Circular is committed to creating a conservation area for this species, providing a tool for biodiversity in the region.<\/p>\n

Monitoring of common kestrel pairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The initiative to install the nest-box came from the Triops Divulgaci\u00f3 Association<\/strong>, a non-profit organisation whose aim is to promote knowledge of the natural environment of Catalonia through research<\/strong>, conservation<\/strong> and dissemination of natural heritage and biodiversity<\/strong>, based in Matar\u00f3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The project coordinators are Ra\u00fcl Calder\u00f3n, Francisco Carbonell, Joan Grajera, Hugo Framis and Pol Romano, five local researchers who in 2019 started a project to monitor breeding pairs of common kestrels<\/strong> (with the marking of individuals with remote reading rings and recording of images in the nests) in Matar\u00f3 and its surroundings with the support of the Matar\u00f3 City Council<\/strong>, which has produced very good results.<\/p>\n
