Espace des rapaces, Bird of prey sanctuary in Sonchamp, France.
The Espace des Rapaces houses numerous birds of prey species within 250 hectares of natural forest setting, allowing them to demonstrate their flying abilities.
The Office National des Forêts established this specialized center to protect and preserve endangered raptor species while educating visitors about their ecological importance.
