Range step-lengths
Rubbish dumps important to Steppe Eagles wintering in Arabia. May be short stopping migration. Risk of electrocution and collision.
Steppe Eagles spent summers mostly in western Kazakhstan. Home ranges large, mostly larger in summer.
Public education Tracking Watch sites and restaurants
Reducing electrocution risk Remedial work New infrastructure
Reducing collision risk Research Advisory
