It has been one year now since the operation of the small-sized feeding stations (or also called the vultures “restaurants”) in Kompsatos valley, Greece. The ‘collaboration’ between livestock breeders of Kompsatos valley and nature’s clean-up crew seems to have equally benefited both, as well as other bird species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importance of feeding stations at Kompsatos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now in Kompsatos, the vultures provide free and natural service of carcass disposal, and in return, the livestock breeders offer them safe food. Thus, reducing the risk of poisoning, which will improve breeding performance and increase survival rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, around twenty different feedings were carried out by ten livestock breeders who placed dead animals (sheep and goats) at four feeding stations. On an almost regular basis, the WWF Greece team distributes food among the feeding stations. In total, more than four tons of meat originating from slaughterhouses and butchers were provided to vultures.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
