Starting in 1999 he established the trans-border (International) Bearded Vulture Monitoring in the Alps. Some years later the monitoring was shifted to an online data base which still serves as unique basis for data exchange within the bearded vulture reintroduction project (see www.gyp-monitoring.com). From the year 2008 he had the honor to become a member of the VCF (former FCBV) board.

Through various conservation actions, such as surveys of threatened nests, feeding, education, and captive breeding, vulture conservation became one of his most accomplished works. Notable achievements included the successful reintroductions of Griffon vultures in the Causses (southern Massif Central) after 1981 and in the Mediterranean Alps in 1995. The return of the Black vulture as a breeding species in France after 1992, the gradual comeback of the Egyptian vulture in most former breeding territories, and the conservation of the Bearded vulture in the Pyrenees, Corsica, and now in the Alps were among the main results of his 30 years of intensive conservation work.\n\nMichel Terrasse served as a board member of the LPO\/BirdLife France, where he held the position of consultant administrator for the International and Overseas Mission.\n\nSince the 1990s, he had been a board member of the Foundation for the Conservation of the Bearded Vulture (FCBV) and the Black Vulture Conservation Foundation (BVCF).

We will work hard so that your dreams of reconnecting the black vultures populations in Europe, from Spain to Turkey via the Balkans, become true.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-32e6261 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"32e6261\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d3630a\" data-id=\"9d3630a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1d1de1 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"d1d1de1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1474456740-600x600-1.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-float attachment-full size-full wp-image-2715\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1474456740-600x600-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1474456740-600x600-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1474456740-600x600-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h4 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">JESUS GARZ\u00d3N<\/h4><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Born in 1946, Jesus Garz\u00f3n worked in nature conservation for more than 50 years, focusing primarily on threatened species in Spain, including the Bear, Wolf, Iberian Lynx, Imperial Eagle, Cinereous Vulture, Black Stork, Capercaillie, and Great Bustard. He took actions to prevent their decline. From 1972 to 1984, he led the IUCN\/WWF International Project for the Conservation of Nature in Western Spain, culminating in 1979 with the creation of the current Monfrag\u00fce National Park. He served as the Director General for Environment in Extremadura from 1984 to 1987 and co-founded several conservation organizations, such as ADENEX (Extremadura), ARCA (Cantabria), the Black Vulture Conservation Foundation (BVCF), or the Spanish section of the European Nature Heritage Fund (EURONATUR). Since 1992, he chaired the Association Concejo de la Mesta, striving to recover traditional transhumant livestock walking throughout Spain to ensure the connectivity and sustainable conservation of ecosystems, allowing the adaptation and resilience of biodiversity to climate change.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1257bbe\" data-id=\"1257bbe\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ce35616 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ce35616\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bf50534\" data-id=\"bf50534\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0c4bf3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f0c4bf3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVISORY BOARD Who We Are Helping us set the right priorities for the conservation of Europe\u2019s vultures and making sound evidence-based decisions are 14 conservation experts that make up our Advisory Board.
