This prompted the immediate deployment of&nbsp;the&nbsp;FCQ field teams to the&nbsp;area,&nbsp;where the bird was found dead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the discovery, the protocol for suspected non-natural mortality was&nbsp;activated&nbsp;and the competent authorities were informed. Environmental agents of the Government of Cantabria documented the case and collected biological samples, which were transferred to the Cantabria Wildlife Recovery Centre. A necropsy carried out by the&nbsp;centre\u2019s&nbsp;veterinary team confirmed poisoning as the cause of death.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further investigate the&nbsp;case,&nbsp;further&nbsp;toxicological analysis&nbsp;are&nbsp;being&nbsp;done&nbsp;at the Institute for Game and Wildlife Research (IREC), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). These analyses will aim to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;the toxic substance used and support a traceability investigation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extensive search operation in the area&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the days following the&nbsp;unfortunate mortality, an extensive search operation was&nbsp;organised&nbsp;in the surrounding area to&nbsp;locate&nbsp;possible poisoned baits,&nbsp;further victims, or other evidence, and to prevent further incidents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operation involved the&nbsp;specialised&nbsp;Canine Unit for Poison Detection, environmental agents from the Government of Cantabria, rangers from the Picos de Europa National Park, SEPRONA officers of the Guardia Civil, and technicians from the Fundaci\u00f3n para la&nbsp;Conservaci\u00f3n&nbsp;del&nbsp;Quebrantahuesos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A serious blow during the breeding season&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Centenario was a male Bearded Vulture provided by the Government of Arag\u00f3n and released in July 2017 on the Asturian side of the Picos de Europa National Park as part of the&nbsp;programme&nbsp;to restore the species in the Cantabrian Mountains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He formed part of the first breeding unit&nbsp;established&nbsp;in Cantabria since the disappearance of the species from the region around 70 years ago. His death comes at a critical moment, during the breeding season, and significantly reduces the chances of successful reproduction this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the loss of an individual, the poisoning of Centenario&nbsp;represents&nbsp;a serious setback for ongoing conservation efforts&nbsp;and highlights the continued threat that illegal poisoning&nbsp;poses to&nbsp;vultures and other scavenging birds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Severe legal consequences for wildlife poisoning&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bearded Vulture is classified as an endangered species, and its deliberate killing carries severe legal consequences under Spanish law. Article 334 of the Penal Code&nbsp;establishes&nbsp;prison sentences of six months to two years, as well as disqualification from hunting, fishing, or animal-related professions for two to four years. When the offence involves an endangered species, penalties are applied&nbsp;at&nbsp;their upper limits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, biodiversity legislation considers the intentional killing of a protected species&nbsp;a very serious&nbsp;administrative offence, punishable by fines ranging from \u20ac50,001 to \u20ac200,000, which may reach up to \u20ac600,000 in the most serious cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This unfortunate death of Centenario shows how illegal poisoning&nbsp;remains&nbsp;one of the most serious threats to Bearded Vultures in Europe.&nbsp;Eliminating&nbsp;this practice is essential to ensure the long-term survival of the species and the success of reintroduction efforts across its former range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lifeprobv.quebrantahuesos.org\/la-fundacion-para-la-conservacion-del-quebrantahuesos-comunica-la-muerte-por-envenenamiento-del-ejemplar-centenario-de-picos-de-europa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/lifeprobv.quebrantahuesos.org\/la-fundacion-para-la-conservacion-del-quebrantahuesos-comunica-la-muerte-por-envenenamiento-del-ejemplar-centenario-de-picos-de-europa\/<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An adult&nbsp;Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus&nbsp;barbatus)&nbsp;known as \u201cCentenario\u201d has been recently found dead after being poisoned in the Picos de Europa&nbsp;mountains, in northern Spain.
