We are working towards reversing this and our conservation initiative to return the Bearded Vulture to the Alps mountain range, one of the most remarkable wildlife comeback stories of the last 50 years, shows vulture conservation can work.
Through collaboration with governments, businesses, local communities and non-governmental wildlife organisations we are applying our expertise in; captive breeding vultures for conservation, reintroducing vultures into areas where they have disappeared, tackling threats and monitoring and tracking birds in the wild, to develop and deliver conservation initiatives that are founded on the best available science and are tailored to each vulture’s behaviour and ecology, the threats they face and the habitats they depend on.
Meet our dedicated team of 10 professionals working to secure the future of vultures in Europe.
Conservation pioneers and the FCBV, the former VCF, helped bring the Bearded Vultures back to the Alps.
To help shape the best strategies for Europe’s vultures, the VCF is supported and advised by the Management Board and the Advisory Board.
