It took three years to get a second observation of a single specimen in Morocco, again accompanied by Griffon and R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vultures.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten years after the first observation, four White-backed Vultures were colour-ringed and equipped with GPS transmitters at the&nbsp;Jbel&nbsp;Moussa VRC, in collaboration with AMPOVIS (Association&nbsp;Marocaine&nbsp;de Protection des&nbsp;Oiseaux&nbsp;et de la Vie Sauvage), AMPR (Association&nbsp;Marocaine&nbsp;pour la Protection des&nbsp;Rapaces), and other partners. One of the tagged vultures braved the dangerous crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar. Even though it managed to get to Spain safely, it lost its life after only a few months.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Together for vultures, from Africa to Europe and beyond&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The African White-Backed vulture is&nbsp;globally&nbsp;listed as Critically Endangered due to the decline of its breeding population. It shares its range, from the Sahel to Eastern and Southern Africa, with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/europes-5th-vulture-species\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">R\u00fcppell&#8217;s vulture<\/a>. Unlike R\u00fcppell&#8217;s vulture, which is becoming increasingly common in North Africa and Europe, the African White-Backed vulture is still a rare sight in those areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across&nbsp;its&nbsp;range, this species is subject to several threats, which drove its numbers in a rapid 63-89% decline over three generations. The first and most important threat to the species is intentional and unintentional poisoning.&nbsp;The latest incident took the lives of 10 individuals less than a month ago&nbsp;in South Africa.&nbsp;Habitat loss, decline in wild ungulate populations, collisions, and poaching for&nbsp;belief-based practices&nbsp;are also taking their toll on the species.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monitoring the movements of individuals of this Critically Endangered species, especially if they follow&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/vultures\/griffon-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Griffon<\/a>&nbsp;y&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/europes-5th-vulture-species\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">R\u00fcppell&#8217;s vulture<\/a>&nbsp;in their migration routes from Africa to Europe, is crucial for protecting it. Monitoring gives us information on habits, behaviour, and routes and can highlight threats, guiding conservation actions. In this case, one of the tagged White-Backed vultures is flying close to a wind farm, reminding the entire conservation community how crucial it is to work together with energy producers to create a safe environment for all birds. Thanks to the great partnerships&nbsp;established&nbsp;between VCF and&nbsp;JBel&nbsp;Moussa VRC, we will continue to follow these vultures on their journey and work together to protect all vulture species on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vulture Rehabilitation Centre&nbsp;JBel&nbsp;Moussa in Morocco recently tagged two Critically Endangered White-Backed vultures in collaboration with VCF.
