The staff of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biom.hr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BIOM<\/a>, leader of the project, held educational workshops in elementary schools in the Kvarner region. In 2024, the project visited five schools and worked with 122 children. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biom.hr\/2025\/03\/31\/bjeloglavi-supovi-u-osnovnim-skolama-na-kvarneru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This year the programme just started, and it already visited three schools<\/a>. It aims to educate the younger generations about Griffon Vultures ecology and the threats this species faces in Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teaching Croatian students about Griffon Vultures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Education is an incredibly powerful tool to encourage long-term protection of vulnerable species. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biom.hr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BIOM<\/a>, leader of the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/projects\/life-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE SUPport project<\/a>, knows it very well. In their programme students learn about the biology and behaviour of <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/vultures\/griffon-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Griffon Vultures <em>(Gyps fulvus)<\/em><\/a> and the challenges they face. Through interactive presentations and creative activities, students are encouraged to think critically about the role of vultures in the ecosystem and reflect on how human actions can affect wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vultures biology and local threats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme starts with an introduction about vultures, followed by practical activities. To learn about the biology of Griffon Vultures, the students are asked to connect feathers to different parts of the vulture body. They can closely observe the shape of the feathers and link them to their function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students are then asked to measure the mass of a \u201cvulture\u201d, made with a sock filled with feathers, before and after it was submerged in water. In fact, it is unfortunately common for young Griffon Vultures hatched in the Kvarner Islands to fall into the sea during their first flights. First-hand experiencing the effects of this threat, allows students to link together conservation practices and local identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"39938\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"child holding a griffon vulture feather in their hand\" class=\"wp-image-39938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_3-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 LIFE SUPport &#8211; Workshop at Marija Martinoli\u0107 Primary School in Mali Lo\u0161inj<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"39939\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"BIOM educator presenting griffon vultures in a classroom\" class=\"wp-image-39939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_4-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_4.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 LIFE SUPport &#8211; Iva \u010cupi\u0107 at a lecture at the Ivan Rabljanin Elementary School on Rab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diving into vultures ecosystemic role and main threats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next activity focuses on the ecological role of vultures and the threats linked to their feeding habits. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biom.hr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BIOM<\/a> team presents student various bacteria that causes disease in humans and livestock \u2013 such as cholera and botulism. Bacteria are represented by drops of food colourings dissolved in vinegar which represents vultures stomach acids. In this way students observe how vultures neutralise potentially deadly diseases just by digesting bacteria growing on carcasses. Afterwards, pieces of graphite are added to the mixture. Graphite represents poison and lead, two silent threats to vultures survival. Students observe that graphite does not dissolve in vinegar, therefore recognizing that vultures cannot digest those compounds and can be intoxicated by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the third activity, students are asked to design \u201cbird friendly\u201d electrical poles. The aim is to create poles on which vultures can stretch their wings without risking electrocution. Finally, the students head to the school garden for a guided birdwatching session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-e57740d9 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_2-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"BIOM educator teaching elementary school students about vultures in a classroom\" class=\"uag-image-39937\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" title=\"School_Workshop_LIFESUPport_2025_2\" role=\"img\" \/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">\u00a9 LIFE SUPport &#8211; Workshop at Marija Martinoli\u0107 Primary School in Mali Lo\u0161inj<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting local communities with their natural heritage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every classroom visit is an investment in a future where vultures thrive. For children growing up near the cliffs where vultures nest, understanding the birds&#8217; ecological and cultural value is a first step toward coexisting with them. The earlier we start involving communities in conservation, the stronger and more resilient our efforts become. Education helps bridge the gap between conservationists and the public, creating a shared vision for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initiatives like BIOM\u2019s educational programme remind us that conservation isn\u2019t just about saving species\u2014it\u2019s about shaping values, building knowledge, and empowering people of all ages to act. We hope that these lessons will echo beyond the classroom, carried home by students who proudly share what they\u2019ve learned and inspire others in their communities. After all, the very foundation of conservation is not technology or funding\u2014it\u2019s people who care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LIFE SUPport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>La <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/new-project-life-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE SUPport <\/a>aims to strengthen Croatia\u2019s endangered Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus)&nbsp;population.
