They found five nests in the Arpa River valley in Vayots&nbsp;Dzor&nbsp;Province (south-east Armenia). All nests&nbsp;contained&nbsp;either nestlings or eggs, and in two of them, adult vultures were&nbsp;observed. The dimension of the&nbsp;colony suggests&nbsp;that it had been&nbsp;established&nbsp;for 7-10 years.&nbsp;Local testimonies confirmed the hypothesis, reporting&nbsp;that large, dark vultures had been seen in the area for years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All five monitored pairs bred successfully that year, and all chicks fledged. The discovery, formally documented in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajol.info\/index.php\/vulnew\/article\/view\/295532\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aghajanyan&#8217;s&nbsp;paper published in Vulture News (Vol. 87)<\/a>, marks a significant moment for Armenian ornithology.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lusine&nbsp;Aghajanyan\u2019s&nbsp;conservation efforts&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lusine&nbsp;Aghajanyan&nbsp;has been at the forefront of vulture conservation in Armenia since 2018, working within the framework of NABU. She&nbsp;initiated&nbsp;a Birds of Prey research and conservation project,&nbsp;focused on the four vulture species found in Armenia and two eagle species, conducting nesting area surveys across most of the country. In addition,&nbsp;she&nbsp;has been&nbsp;voluntarily contributing to the Central Asian Vultures Project, which studies nesting areas and tags vultures in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, she&nbsp;established&nbsp;a <strong>vulture caretakers&#8217; network<\/strong>: a community-based monitoring system in which locals from villages throughout Armenia monitor vultures and report concerns. Since 2021, she has tagged a total of 16 vultures: 7 Egyptian Vultures, 3 Bearded Vultures, and 6 Cinereous Vultures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9674_\u00a9NABU-Armenia-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"A human handling a young Cinereous Vulture\" class=\"wp-image-41873\" style=\"width:1024px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9674_\u00a9NABU-Armenia-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9674_\u00a9NABU-Armenia-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9674_\u00a9NABU-Armenia-768x460.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9674_\u00a9NABU-Armenia-1536x920.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9674_\u00a9NABU-Armenia-2048x1226.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9674_\u00a9NABU-Armenia-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9NABU Armenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The start of a fertile collaboration&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the International Bearded Vulture Conference&nbsp;2024,&nbsp;Lusine&nbsp;Aghajanyan&nbsp;presented the vulture conservation work underway in Armenia.
