Crowned Eagle Research

Our flagship project began in 2012, when Shane McPherson established a PhD study based at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and supervised by Professor Colleen Downs.

​

Our research investigates the ecology and conservation of Crowned eagles in the landscapes of the megacity of Durban.

​

Our project is expanding to include conservation concerns of African Crowned Eagles throughout their range, as well as a more in depth study of the Durban landscape and its incredible diversity of raptors.
