Gombala provided in-kind labour and funding of a transmitter, VCF provided support for the film making, Aquila provided a transmitter and Arid Lands provided accommodation.\u00a0 While such wide support is satisfying and encouraging, Oman\u2019s position as a global stronghold for Egyptian vultures (both resident and migratory), and a number of other migratory and resident soaring bird species of conservation concern (e.g. Eastern imperial eagle, Steppe eagle, Lappet-faced vulture, Greater spotted eagle) means that a more consistent and sustained effort needs to be put in in order to tackle the challenges ahead.\u00a0 We are currently searching for ways to fund future work in Oman.\u00a0 You can keep up with progress by following our blog (<a href=\"http:\/\/egyptianvultureoman.blogspot.co.at\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/egyptianvultureoman.blogspot.co.at\/<\/a>), or the VCF webpage.\u00a0 When the film is finished we will let you know<\/p>\n<p> Photos: W Al Fazari &amp; Mike McGrady\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A program of research and conservation of Egyptian vultures has been developed in Oman (a global stronghold of the species) since 2012 by a partnership that includes the government, NGOs, private consultants and volunteers. \u00a0That work has included surveys of breeding vultures on Masirah Island, surveys of rubbish dumps, satellite-tracking of individual birds, and a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[15],"class_list":["post-6371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-egyptianvulture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
