At around three months of age, captive-bred chicks are placed in an artificial nest in a suitable habitat, closely matching the stage at which wild young Bearded Vultures are preparing to leave the nest. They are then fed without direct contact with people, allowing them to become familiar with their surroundings while maintaining natural behaviour. Over the following weeks, they will make their first flights from the release site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bearded Vultures tend to return to where they fledged once they reach maturity, so the hope is that these birds will eventually come back and breed, adding to the population already established in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Twenty years of reintroduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bearded Vulture disappeared from Andalusia in 1986. After years of preparation, the first reintroduction releases took place in 2006. The programme has been a collaboration between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juntadeandalucia.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Junta de Andaluc\u00eda<\/a>, the Vulture Conservation Foundation, the European Bearded Vulture captive-breeding network, and other collaborators, combining captive breeding, releases, field monitoring and threat mitigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A turning point came in 2015, when a pair of reintroduced birds successfully raised the first chick hatched in the wild, a confirmation that the reintroduction efforts worked out. Around 70 Bearded Vultures and approximately 15 breeding pairs are now established across Andalusia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One bird stands out as a symbol of that progress. Esperanza was the first chick hatched in the wild after the reintroduction. In 2025, she hatched a chick of her own, part of a generation hatched entirely in the wild, with no direct connection to captivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As these four young females begin their lives in the wild, we wish them the best start and look forward to following their journey in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
