Four juvenile Cinereous Vultures are already in the acclimatisation aviary and will be released in the autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acclimatisation with a view<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The acclimatisation aviary was built at Fornos, in the municipality of Freixo de Espada \u00e0 Cinta, within the Douro Internacional Natural Park, in northern Portugal, and consists of a large cage (18 metres long, nine metres wide and six to eight metres high) adjacent to a supplementary feeding station for scavenging birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NGO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palombar.pt\/pt\/noticias\/dia-europeu-da-rede-natura-2000-3a-inaugurada-jaula-de-aclimatacao-para-abutres-pretos-e-apresentada-app-para-explorar-o-territorio-2024-2f05-2f23\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Palombar<\/a> &#8211; the LIFE Aegypius Return partner responsible for building and managing the aviary &#8211; planned the facilities in detail to ensure the birds&#8217; well-being and socialisation. Inside the aviary, the vultures have perches, ramps, branches and even a bathtub &#8211; all with a breathtaking view over the Douro river canyon. Outside, in front of the aviary, there is a fenced feeding station of around 2 hectares (work carried out by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faiabrava.pt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Transum\u00e2ncia e Natureza<\/a>), where food is placed to mimic the availability of carcasses in the wild (Cinereous Vultures are obligatory scavengers). Thus, from inside the aviary, the Cinereous Vultures will be able to observe and interact with their counterparts and other species, socialising and learning natural behaviours such as feeding and identifying danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Douro Internacional was the area selected for the acclimatisation of Cinereous Vultures, within the LIFE Aegypius Return project, as it is home to the smallest, most fragile and isolated colony in Portugal. In 2022 only two breeding pairs were known in the region; in 2024 this increased to seven pairs &#8211; four on the Portuguese side and three more on the Spanish side &#8211; but the isolation of the colony makes natural expansion difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acclimatization-cage-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Acclimatisation aviary for Cinereous Vultures, built in Fornos - Douro Internacional \u00a9 Leonor Carvalho\/Palombar\" class=\"wp-image-37339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acclimatization-cage-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acclimatization-cage-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acclimatization-cage-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acclimatization-cage-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acclimatization-cage-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Acclimatization-cage.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Acclimatisation aviary for Cinereous Vultures, built at Fornos &#8211; Douro Internacional \u00a9 Vulture Conservation Foundation<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pioneering conservation technique in Portugal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Acclimatisation is a period during which the birds get used to a particular region, in this case, the Douro Internacional. It is part of a process generally known as <em>soft release, <\/em>which has not yet been applied in Portugal with any species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Soft release <\/em>programmes have been applied in various regions of Europe and have been described and tested with various species of vultures. Compared to other techniques used in conservation programmes, <em>soft release <\/em>allows birds to remain loyal to the release area and is a recommended procedure for accelerating settlement, preventing dispersion from the release area, and increasing the viability of a population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In LIFE Aegypius Return, the Cinereous Vultures that enter acclimatisation will be juvenile birds originating exclusively from wildlife rehabilitation centres in Portugal. In other words, they are birds that were born and raised in the wild, but due to injury or weakness had to enter a wildlife rehabilitation centre, without having established breeding territory yet (which in Cinereous Vultures only happens at five or six years of age). After their rehabilitation, instead of being returned directly to the wild, they will be sent for acclimatisation for between five and nine months. After this period, they will be released by opening the cage, and it is hoped that they will remain in the region of the Douro International Nature Park and establish their nesting territory there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cinereous-Vulture-in-the-acclimatizing-aviary.-\u00a9-Leonor-CarvalhoPalombar-1024x680.png\" alt=\"Cinereous Vulture in the acclimatizing aviary. \u00a9 Leonor Carvalho\/Palombar\" class=\"wp-image-37342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cinereous-Vulture-in-the-acclimatizing-aviary.-\u00a9-Leonor-CarvalhoPalombar-1024x680.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cinereous-Vulture-in-the-acclimatizing-aviary.-\u00a9-Leonor-CarvalhoPalombar-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cinereous-Vulture-in-the-acclimatizing-aviary.-\u00a9-Leonor-CarvalhoPalombar-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cinereous-Vulture-in-the-acclimatizing-aviary.-\u00a9-Leonor-CarvalhoPalombar-1536x1020.png 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cinereous-Vulture-in-the-acclimatizing-aviary.-\u00a9-Leonor-CarvalhoPalombar-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cinereous-Vulture-in-the-acclimatizing-aviary.-\u00a9-Leonor-CarvalhoPalombar.png 1826w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Cinereous Vulture in the acclimatizing aviary \u00a9 Leonor Carvalho\/Palombar<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four Cinereous Vultures await freedom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The acclimatisation facilities were inaugurated with four Cinereous Vultures, three females and one male. These vultures were rescued in \u00c9vora, Monte Junto and Belmonte, and then transferred to the <a href=\"http:\/\/quercus.pt\/ceras\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centre for the Study and Recovery of Wild Animals (CERAS),<\/a> located in Castelo Branco and managed by Quercus, where they have been recovering. The introduction of the vultures into the cage was monitored by teams of veterinarians from CERAS and the Centre for the Recovery of Wild Animals at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (CRAS\/HV-UTAD). The birds were ringed, <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/tagging-cinereous-vultures-in-the-nest-step-by-step\/\">biological samples<\/a> were collected and, before they are returned to the wild &#8211; which is planned for next autumn &#8211; they will be fitted with GPS transmitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The birds are now being monitored via the video surveillance system installed in the acclimatisation aviary. In the event of an emergency, CRAS\/HV-UTAD veterinarians can quickly rush to the scene and provide assistance, using a small infirmary attached to the aviary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2027, the LIFE Aegypius Return project plans to return 20 Cinereous Vultures to the wild through <em>soft release<\/em>. Naturally, all these procedures require a permit from the national nature conservation authority, the ICNF &#8211; Instituto da Conserva\u00e7\u00e3o da Natureza e das Florestas, which is following the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"512\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-videovigilancia-banho.jpeg\" alt=\"Cinereous vulture in acclimatisation.
