In 1986, Bearded Vultures disappeared from the skies of Andalusia. One of the ways to bring the species back from extinction was the establishment of the Bearded Vulture captive breeding centre of Guadalent\u00edn in 1996, aiming to produce captive-bred chicks for release into the wild. The Centre has come a long way since then, and today, it breeds the most Bearded Vultures in captivity every year. Guadalent\u00edn is the most important Centre within the Vulture Conservation Foundation’s (VCF)\u00a0Bearded Vulture Captive Breeding Network (EEP)<\/a>\u00a0as it contributes the most chicks every year to reintroduction programmes in Andalusia, but also in other regions across Spain, France and the Alps. It also specializes in double adoptions and takes young Bearded Vultures from other Bearded Vulture EEP partners to naturally rear the chicks. As of 2020, the VCF also assumed management of the Centre following an agreement with the\u00a0Junta de Andaluc\u00eda<\/a>. Watch a video all about Guadalent\u00edn showing the commitment of the staff, how they carry out double adoptions and a peak into the first releases of the season!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
