Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – <\/i><\/b>Vulnerable<\/span><\/p>\n Population size<\/b>: <\/i><\/b>2020: 29-32 pairs (2007: 30\u201335 pairs<\/span>)<\/b><\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n The main part of the population is concentrated in Southeastern Bulgaria – Sakar, Sliven District, the southernmost parts of the Tundzha and Maritsa rivers, the Derventa Hills, the western part of Strandzha Mountain. It is possible individual pairs to be still breeding in Sredna Gora.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020: <\/b>During the period 2013-2020, the population of the Imperial Eagle has continued to increase, although not as significantly as in the previous period. Compared to the previous study, abandonment of territories is observed in mountainous areas (Eastern Rhodopes, Sredna Gora, Stara Planina), and after the year 2017 there is practically no known pair of the so-called “mountain eco-type”. The most noticeable is the increase in the Sliven, Yambol and Elhovo fields, where the eagles colonize new territories.<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 17-21 pairs (59% of the population). Nearly 2\/3 of the population is located in the <\/span>Special Protection<\/span> Areas, with the highest number found in the <\/span>Special Protection A<\/span>reas \u201cSakar\u201d (11 pairs) and \u201cWest Strandzha\u201d (4 pairs).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
