About the Annual Bearded Vulture Meeting
For decades, this meeting has brought together partners involved in the reintroduction of the Bearded Vulture in the Alps and now includes various projects from across Europe and beyond. The goal is to discuss the latest conservation and research efforts, exchange best practices, and stay updated on the actions and outcomes of related projects. All Bearded Vulture experts and enthusiasts are welcome to join the meeting to share and learn about the latest insights on the conservation and research of the species.
About the LIFE GypRescue Project
Led by Parc naturel régional de Corse, in collaboration with Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux, Direction des systèmes énergétiques insulaires, Fédération des Chasseurs de la Corse du Sud and us at the Vulture Conservation Foundation, the LIFE GYPRESCUE project (LIFE20 NAT/FR/001553) came to life in 2021 to prevent the extinction of the Bearded Vulture in Corsica. The project team strives to increase the population through restocking actions, improve the natural reproduction and boost the island’s nesting capacity for the species, while preventing human-related disturbance and mitigating threats to reduce mortality.
