| - Operation Chough (Cornish: An Ragdres Palores) is a conservationist project which aims to create a viable population of red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) in Cornwall. This bird is widely considered a symbol of the county and its people and was once commonly seen throughout Cornish landscapes. In spite of this close association, the chough population experienced a severe decline in Cornwall through the 20th century, and had not been seen in the county since the early 1970s. In 2001, however, up to five birds were seen on The Lizard, thought to have come from Ireland. This pioneer population rapidly grew, with their offspring reaching nearly twenty birds. Since then, the Operation has made several efforts to keep this population viable by monitoring the nesting areas, promoting awareness of the cultural and environmental importance of the species to Cornwall and by releasing birds to further enlarge the genetic pool of the pioneer communities. Dr Richard Meyer's thesis 'The Feeding Ecology of the Red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) in West Wales and the Feasibility of Re-establishment in Cornwall' is available online. (en)

No início da década de 1970, o animal foi declarado oficialmente extinto no condado. Em 2001, no entanto, um total de cinco aves foram avistadas em , parte sul da península córnica. Esta população pioneira cresceu rapidamente, totalizando, juntamente aos filhotes recém-nascidos, cerca de vinte aves. Desde então, o projeto Operation Chough tem feito diversos esforços para manter viável a população de aves, através do monitoramento das áreas de nidificação, da conscientização acerca da importância cultural e ecológica da espécie para a Cornualha, e através da introdução de novas aves, de modo a prevenir a endogamia.
