Persecution through shooting, poisoned baits, and habitat degradation led to the species\u2019 extinction in Bulgaria. The last known individual was shot in \u201cSinite Kamani\u201d (Blue Stones Nature Park) in May 1972. Its disappearance left a void in Bulgaria\u2019s biodiversity\u2014and sparked a powerful conservation movement determined to bring the species back. Now, more than 50 years later, we look forward to seeing these birds thrive once again in the very place where they last soared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A continental conservation effort<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bearded Vulture once ranged widely across the whole Balkans &#8211; not just Bulgaria. Today, it is extinct in most of the region, surviving only in small numbers on Crete. The species has already been successfully reintroduced in several other regions in Europe and we are hoping to see the same success also in the Balkans. Therefore, the Bulgarian initiative is therefore not just a national achievement\u2014it is part of a broader European effort to secure the species\u2019 future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeZrIj6Zq3Z8PQawhDOHYElJR0u8HU3Xy4o6bY4vrETdD2Zj5E1ABPmC8anfaLRTF0qdmIN6DUEvzXNkD3LYgdPneEnJN_teSah4LwWTs4mkRCU74IOCvQDf18JymoKnNjFXSl42A?key=GcQSiEzCGaEVPOVRAUKTKndf\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:726px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bearded Vulture \u00a9 Bruno Berthemy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Decades of determination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The return of the Bearded Vulture is the result of more than 30 years of coordinated conservation work led by Bulgarian organizations including <strong>Green Balkans<\/strong>, the <strong>Fund for Wild Flora and Fauna (FWFF)<\/strong> among others. The approach focused first on restoring Griffon and Cinereous Vulture populations\u2014critical ecosystem engineers\u2014to create a healthier and safer environment for the eventual return of the Bearded Vulture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, these efforts are about to bear fruit. The first three Bearded Vultures will be released into <strong>Sinite Kamani Nature Park<\/strong> using the \u201chacking\u201d method\u2014an artificial nest technique that mimics natural fledging conditions. This reintroduction marks a turning point for vulture conservation in the Balkans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Honouring a legacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first bird to be released on 17 May 2025 will be named in honour of <strong>Nikolay Boev (1922\u20131985)<\/strong>, a renowned Bulgarian zoologist and conservationist who first envisioned the return of the Bearded Vulture to Bulgaria. It was Boev who suggested the vulture as a symbol for Bulgaria\u2019s protected areas\u2014a legacy now taking flight in a very real sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Join the celebration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The release event will take place on 17th May 2025 at <strong>Tuida Fortress, Sliven<\/strong>, near the Blue Stones Nature Park.

With a budget of \u20ac5.17 million, co-funded by the European Union\u2019s LIFE Programme, the project commenced in August 2023 and is expected to continue until 2030.
