But in recent years, thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/projects\/life-gyprescue\/\"><strong>LIFE GypRescue<\/strong><\/a> project, there are early signs of recovery. From a low of just two territorial pairs, numbers have increased to about four to six today. While still dangerously low, this modest rise marks a turning point \u2014 showing that the immediate risk of extinction may have been averted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeoO5pCSLy-PqC-SDjx56BuHJd44RUJ3rRPY-Z60xFkOvCwU0hWngauHksrkeuRUMz1AL_gKXFYO_l0VfXHSsFDNd6wzEaskS0P2doPXDELtxLNcLMeegppEsEEGdSRD1ccuhu0IQ?key=NC5RpNlm0ZgLhh5OwZz-2w\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:617px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bearded Vulture &#8220;Luna&#8221; \u00a9 Martin Van Boone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A closer look at the 2025 breeding season<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s breeding season began with optimism. All four known pairs laid eggs between late January and early February \u2014 a strong start. But only one chick hatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasons for hatching failure vary. In one nest, a young male failed to incubate the egg, which remained exposed to cold conditions for too long. Thermal shocks likely stopped the embryo from developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another nest, both eggs failed to hatch, but the cause remains unknown. And in a third case, a female accidentally broke her egg just days before hatching \u2014 no chick had developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These insights were possible thanks to nest cameras, which allow researchers to study the sensitive incubation phase. In past seasons, other threats \u2014 such as egg predation by Great Ravens \u2014 have also played a role in nest failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A ray of hope<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the setbacks, one chick has hatched and is now being raised by its parents in the wild. Just over a month old, it is receiving vital support from the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/projects\/life-gyprescue\/\">LIFE GypRescue<\/a> team. Artificial feeding has been intensified to reduce the time adults need to spend searching for food \u2014 ensuring more consistent care for the chick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From just 150 grams and 10 cm at hatching, the chick will rapidly grow to a wingspan of nearly 2.80 m and a weight of 5\u20136 kg in just four months. If all goes well, it will fledge around July \u2014 becoming the first Corsican Bearded Vulture in years to reach this milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The single chick in the nest this year is a fragile but powerful symbol of what\u2019s possible \u2014 and a reminder of how much remains to be done to secure the future of the genetically invaluable Corsican Bearded Vulture population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The LIFE GypRescue project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfcTdndNYT8MfxrFIWurAvRrYB1f0qvy0KEw0MnGkt0IYIYu6AZq2eoOyxGVeYKgG7flZJSVCiRsVf2F9aNdJbumQyAvmmdnpD34lmYEtfnXHLKUc2VAUlowgfvUilC83s0TBj3IQ?key=NC5RpNlm0ZgLhh5OwZz-2w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnr.corsica\/\">Parc naturel r\u00e9gional de Corse<\/a>, in collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lpo.fr\/\">Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.fr\/\">Direction des syst\u00e8mes \u00e9nerg\u00e9tiques insulaires<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fdc2a.corsica\/\">F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des Chasseurs de la Corse du Sud<\/a> and us at the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/\">Vulture Conservation Foundation<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GYPRESCUE\">LIFE GYPRESCUE<\/a> project (LIFE20 NAT\/FR\/001553) came to life in 2021 to prevent the extinction of the Bearded Vulture in Corsica.
