Confirmation of Breeding of the Long-legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus, Levaillant, J., 1850) in Western and Eastern Libya.
A new scientific study has confirmed the breeding of the Long-legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) in both western and eastern Libya. The research was conducted by the Libyan Society for Birds, in collaboration with the Alhaya Organization for Protection of Wildlife and Marine Organisms.
This represents the first documented evidence of breeding for this species in Libya, as most previous records were based on unconfirmed observations or indirect signs. The study highlights the importance of the field activities carried out by both organizations in monitoring bird populations and enhancing knowledge of the country’s biodiversity.
The findings have been published in the Libyan Journal of Environmental and Engineering Science and Technology (LJEEST), providing a new scientific reference on raptors in Libya and their conservation status.
