Between 15 to 17 February 2022, the 27th ‘Vautours’ meeting (27èmes rencontres Vautours), organised by LPO, brought together experts to discuss the latest vulture conservation programmes in France and beyond.
Our very own José Tavares, Franziska Lörcher and Julien Terraube gave presentations during the event, sharing insight into several conservation initiatives the Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF) leads.
The presentations (in French) are now available online, in case you missed the event.
