Its declining state is mostly due to the successive and frequent mass poisonings in Africa, which are driving several African vulture species to extinction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The R\u00fcppell&#8217;s Vulture is becoming a common sight in Europe<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vultures are becoming alarmingly scarce in Africa, surprisingly, they are increasingly seen in Europe, with some calling it&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/europes-5th-vulture-species\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Europe\u2019s 5th vulture species<\/a>&nbsp;and one of the most threatened bird species in Spain. Individuals of this species increasingly mix with juvenile Griffon Vultures wintering in West Africa (Senegal and Gambia, among other places). Between 8,000 and 9,000 individuals cross the Strait of Gibraltar every year, and when European Griffon Vultures start their migration north, some R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vultures join the groups and reach Europe. These are mostly juveniles, and in most cases, they go back to Africa in the autumn. On the other hand, Juanita\u2019s case is extraordinary since she remained in a European breeding colony for more than one season. Through the GPS transmitter, the research team will study whether this female will return to Africa or continue trying to reproduce in Malaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that reports indicate the presence of&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/first-confirmed-sighting-of-a-ruppells-vulture-in-italy\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vulture<\/a>&nbsp;living in a Griffon Vulture breeding colony in Sicily for the past couple of years. There are also reports of another individual in Portugal, but the data is scant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Climate change is a possible reason for the move to Europe<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers have also linked the presence of the R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vulture as far north as the Mediterranean Basin to possible effects of climate change as a consequence of the \u2018Africanisation\u2019 of climate, where other avian species have recently colonised Spain. However, this is still under evaluation. Contrary to what usually happens, in this case, climate change could be the salvation for this critically endangered species since Spain is a stronghold for vultures, with plenty of carrion and vulture conservation projects in place working to protect and conserve these important birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:&nbsp;<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diariosur.es\/malaga\/buitres-africanos-mudan-malaga-20211201184540-nt.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Diario Sur<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"85\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Malaga-Universidad-de-Ma\u0301laga-UMA-logo.png\" alt=\"University of Malaga - Universidad de M\u00e1laga - UMA logo\" class=\"wp-image-21864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Malaga-Universidad-de-Ma\u0301laga-UMA-logo.png 460w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/University-of-Malaga-Universidad-de-Ma\u0301laga-UMA-logo-300x55.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As the sightings of the African R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vulture continue to grow in Iberia and Europe, we at the&nbsp;<\/em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF)<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;also intend to monitor the situation by equipping individuals with GPS transmitters to help determine their origin and how long they stay in Europe.
