Local superstitions depicted them as dangerous birds known for killing lambs and attacking babies. These old wives\u2019 tales could not be farther from the truth, but they still drove the species to extinction. In 1913, the last Bearded Vulture in the Alps was shot in the Aosta Valley (Italy).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sixty years after that terrible record, conservationists joined forces to bring the species back from extinction. <strong>The first reintroduction took place in 1986.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/vultures\/bearded-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bearded Vultures<\/a> hatched and reared in captivity were released into the wild, hoping that they will start recolonizing their old territories. <strong>In 1997 the first chick hatched in the wild<\/strong>, giving the species a true chance of recovering. Almost 30 years have passed, and the <strong>Bearded Vultures population in the Alps is now the second largest in Europe after the Pyrenean population<\/strong>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/One-of-the-BVs-with-nesting-material-\u00a9Olivier-Teilhard-1024x711.jpeg\" alt=\"Adult Bearded Vulture in Vercors _Olivier Teilhard\" class=\"wp-image-24957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/One-of-the-BVs-with-nesting-material-\u00a9Olivier-Teilhard-1024x711.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/One-of-the-BVs-with-nesting-material-\u00a9Olivier-Teilhard-300x208.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/One-of-the-BVs-with-nesting-material-\u00a9Olivier-Teilhard-768x533.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/One-of-the-BVs-with-nesting-material-\u00a9Olivier-Teilhard-1536x1067.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/One-of-the-BVs-with-nesting-material-\u00a9Olivier-Teilhard-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/One-of-the-BVs-with-nesting-material-\u00a9Olivier-Teilhard.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adult Bearded Vulture in Vercors holding nesting material in the beak \u00a9Olivier Teilhard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Alpine population hits two major milestones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year the Bearded Vultures population in the Alps counts<strong> over 100 reproductive pairs<\/strong>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gyp-monitoring.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Bearded Vulture Monitoring Network (IBM)<\/a> registers not only a population growth, but also an expansion of the species distribution range. Some areas of the Alps finally <strong>host <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/vultures\/bearded-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bearded Vultures<\/a> for the first time in 150 years<\/strong>. These are two major milestones that demonstrate the success of the reintroduction and protection programmes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2025 breeding season is not over yet, but it is already registering promising numbers. <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/csp2.70027\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A study from D. Santos-Cottin, B. Arroyo, F. Loercher, A. Brambilla, and J. Terraube<\/a> recently analysed the Bearded Vultures breeding success in the Alps, <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/new-research-highlights-the-drivers-behind-bearded-vulture-breeding-success-in-the-alps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">highlighting the causes behind this very positive trend<\/a>. While the reintroduction programme has been a major success, the number of released birds is not a predicting factor for breeding performance. According to the study, breeding success depends on a combination of individual and environmental factors. Long-time bonded pairs and pairs formed by wild-hatched birds have higher reproductive success. The nest elevation and the presence of protected areas also positively influence the breeding success.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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 decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"36603\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bearded-Vultures-matign-in-the-wild_Haute-Savoie-FR_Samuel-Saulnier-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bearded-Vultures-matign-in-the-wild_Haute-Savoie-FR_Samuel-Saulnier-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bearded-Vultures-matign-in-the-wild_Haute-Savoie-FR_Samuel-Saulnier-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bearded-Vultures-matign-in-the-wild_Haute-Savoie-FR_Samuel-Saulnier-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bearded-Vultures-matign-in-the-wild_Haute-Savoie-FR_Samuel-Saulnier-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bearded-Vultures-matign-in-the-wild_Haute-Savoie-FR_Samuel-Saulnier.jpeg 1398w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bearded Vultures mating in Aravis Massif, Haute-Savoie, France \u00a9 Samuel Saulnier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"16953\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bearded-Vultures-in-flight-\u00a9-Hansruedi-Weyrich-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Bearded-Vultures-in-flight-\u00a9-Hansruedi-Weyrich\" class=\"wp-image-16953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bearded-Vultures-in-flight-\u00a9-Hansruedi-Weyrich-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bearded-Vultures-in-flight-\u00a9-Hansruedi-Weyrich-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bearded-Vultures-in-flight-\u00a9-Hansruedi-Weyrich-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bearded-Vultures-in-flight-\u00a9-Hansruedi-Weyrich.jpg 1340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Hansruedi Weyrich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"19174\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bearded-Vulture-help-vultures-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Careers at the Vulture Conservation Foundation_Hansruedi Weyrich\" class=\"wp-image-19174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bearded-Vulture-help-vultures-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bearded-Vulture-help-vultures-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bearded-Vulture-help-vultures-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bearded-Vulture-help-vultures-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bearded-Vulture-help-vultures.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Hansruedi Weyrich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping the eyes on the long-term goal&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we collectively celebrate this year success, we should remember that Bearded Vultures are still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iucnredlist.org\/species\/22695174\/154813652\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Near Threatened globally (IUCN Red List)<\/a>.

The success rate of breeding pairs is around 60-70%. This means that an average of two-thirds of breeding pairs manages to raise a chick each year.
