The male lost his mate a few months ago but managed to bond with a new female just in time for this year&#8217;s reproductive season. The two birds were observed in the Sakar region, where they showed clear signs of breeding behaviour. In the following weeks, they moved to the Easter Rhodopes, where they are currently residing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinereous Vultures are known for being particularly selective when it comes to choosing a partner. Nevertheless, this pair formed rather quickly, showing the adaptability of this species under favourable conditions. This is the fifth pair recorded in the Eastern Rhodopes since 2022, when the species started to return to the Eastern Rhodopes. The <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/projects\/life-rhodope-vulture\/\">LIFE Rhodope Vulture<\/a> team is closely monitoring it, hoping for a positive breeding season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The efforts to protect the Cinereous Vultures in the Rhodope Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/vultures\/cinereous-vulture\/\">Cinereous Vultures (<em>Aegypius monachus<\/em><\/a>) are Europe\u2019s largest raptor and top mountain\u2013forest scavengers, feeding mainly on mammal carrion. The IUCN Red List marks the species as Near Threatened. In the Balkans, it is on the rarest bird species. The last breeding pair documented in the Eastern Rhodopes dates back to 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/record-cinereous-vultures-fledgling-in-dadia-national-park\/\">last natural colony of Cinereous Vultures in the Balkans is located in Dadia National Park in Greece<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/projects\/life-rhodope-vulture\/\">LIFE Rhodope Vulture<\/a> project is dedicated to the recovery of this species in the cross-border Rhodope Mountains Region, between Bulgaria and Greece. The project addresses key threats to the species survival, such as lack of food availability and human-wildlife conflict. In addition, it aims to establish a second Cinereous Vulture colony in the Eastern Rhodopes, translocating individuals from Spain to Bulgaria. The spontaneous establishment of a new territorial pair in the project area highlights the results of local conservation actions that created favourable conditions for the breeding season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

The project aims to increase food availability for the species and address human-wildlife conflicts.

Lastly, the project aims to foster cooperation among local businesses, conservation initiatives, and stakeholders and raise awareness about the ecological benefits of Cinereous Vultures. The project duration is 5 years, from June 2024 to May 2029. The total budget is \u20ac4,160,118 Euro. It is coordinated by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bspb.org\/en\/\">Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds<\/a>\u00a0(BSPB) with the participation of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rewilding-rhodopes.com\/\">Rewilding Rhodopes Foundation<\/a>.
