We present to you the Capercaillie Association for the Protection of Animals with the possibility of photography of Capercaillie.
The Capercaillie Animal Protection Association was founded on January 19, 2012. We bring you various guest appearances in the media, in which we want to sensitize the general public to the revitalization of Capercaillie in the indigenous habitat of Gorski Kotar. We present a program and projects to revitalize the Capercaillie, as well as breeding videos.
Croatian capercaillie initiative to join the European Rewilding Network
01.27.2022.
Rewilding Capercaillie is Croatia’s only licensed breeding enterprise for capercaillie, a rare and strictly protected bird of mountainous woodland regions, and the largest member of the grouse family. For almost ten years they have been working to reinforce their diminishing population through captive breeding.
The fate of grouse is in the hands of man

In Farjevo Laz, near Tršće in Gorski Kotar, grouse are home - a very endangered and protected bird. The road to the breeding center is difficult and often, due to weather conditions, inaccessible. However, the Association for the protection of grouse, despite the difficulties, is fighting for the survival of this bird with a special voice.

On July 27, 2019, the Central European Breeding Centre Capercaillie was opened in Gorski Kotar in Farov Laz. A project worth 800,000.00EUR, which was funded without EU projects and loans at banks, with the help of numerous donors, including Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatian Hunting Association, Hunting Federation of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatian Electricity Company, Croatian Forests and many others. It was opened by the mayor of the PGZ, Mr Zlatko Komadina, and the president of the Croatian Hunting Association, General Đuro Dečak.

Disappointed female Capercaillie
15.05.2017.
Male shows no particular interest for mating, since mating is at its very end, the female Capercaillie, though half the size of the male, has decided to physically attack, as she has not been able to provoke the male to fertilize her.
An interesting behaviour of a non-dominant female

The male does not show enough will to fertilize the non-dominant Capercaillie while she badly wants it. This is an example when a male does not like an overly aggressive female.
