With a highly diverse programme, including keynote presentations, speed talks and posters, we will cover the most pressuring questions and effective vulture conservation strategies. Keynote speakers will shed light on monitoring and movement ecology, threat mitigation for effective planning and implementation, methodologies and results of reintroduction projects, disease prevention and control, and captive-breeding husbandry.
