Programme (EEP) is the most intensive type of population management for a species kept in the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) zoos. It is a captive-breeding programme that aims to conserve sustainable back-up populations of animals in captivity while safeguarding the genetic diversity up to 90%. These EEP programmes are a sort of Noah\u2019s ark, should the wild population\u2019s fortunes really take a turn for the worse. Animals born in captivity can then be used to boost populations in the wild, which is the case for the Cinereous Vulture. International collaboration and close coordination is crucial to this objective.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b0039e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3b0039e\" 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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0d620b3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0d620b3\" 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-4dc04ac\" data-id=\"4dc04ac\" 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-f1effd6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f1effd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"928\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8-928x521-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3559\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8-928x521-1.png 928w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8-928x521-1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/8-928x521-1-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Antwerp ZOO \/ Jonas Verhulst<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6fe4acc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6fe4acc\" 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-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d9ee45a\" data-id=\"d9ee45a\" 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-be88081 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"be88081\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CINEREOUS VULTURE CAPTIVE BREEDING NETWORK <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fe444d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0fe444d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Cinereous Vulture or Eurasian Black Vulture (<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Aegypius monachus<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">) EEP is made up of 43 zoos and animal parks ranging from Spain to Kazakhstan and is home to about 40 breeding pairs. It is managed by the studbook keeper and coordinator Marleen Huyghe from Zoo Planckendael in Belgium, who is also an Advisory Board member for the Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF). The VCF also shares expertise and experience to help update guidelines and protocols.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Besides holding and updating the actual register, as a studbook keeper, Marleen Huyghe acts as a matchmaker and makes recommendations for new pairs, transfer of individuals between zoos, husbandry, captive breeding and reintroduction candidates. The programme is supported scientifically by Philippe Helsen, research coordinator in the Centre for Research and Conservation in Zoo Antwerp in Belgium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To tackle the breeding difficulties in the Cinereous Vulture EEP, the CRC focused on pairing and studying breeding success with this species. ZOO Planckendael took the initiative of setting up a European dating aviary where birds can choose their own partners. This is essential to breeding success. A second dating centre was recently established in Rhenen Zoo in the Netherlands. Pairs formed in these dating aviaries are sent to breeding facilities in zoos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At present, breeding success is still low in the EEP, but there is a positive trend. At the end of 2019, a workshop on ex-situ breeding of the species was held in Zoo Antwerp, where experts from in situ and ex situ were gathered. The need for the establishment of specialised breeding centres and more dating aviaries was recognised, and the revision of the actual husbandry guidelines into Best Practice Guidelines is planned for the near future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Over the years, a unique collection of Cinereous Vulture samples including specimens from the EEP population as well as both the natural and reintroduced populations and their offspring is \u2014 thanks to efforts on the field \u2014 collected by the CRC. Philippe Helsen and his team examine the DNA in these specimens to gain more insight into the EEP as genetic back-up populations, the breeding success, and the role of the reintroduced animals during reintroduction projects. These genetic analyses will hopefully give information to further improve reintroduction strategy for the species in future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c245086 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c245086\" 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-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fcdb2d6\" data-id=\"fcdb2d6\" 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-991c634 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"991c634\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">DATING AVIARIES AND MATCHMAKING<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ea067f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9ea067f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dating aviaries allow young captive birds of both sexes to mingle and choose their partner naturally, leaving it to the chemistry between the individual birds.

Young birds, which are more quickly fixated on or attached to a certain place, are a crucial part of this reintroduction strategy.<\/p>\t\t\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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a16ce89\" data-id=\"a16ce89\" 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-7d100dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7d100dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"928\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-928x521-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3579\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-928x521-1.png 928w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-928x521-1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-928x521-1-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c41f8b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c41f8b\" 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-fff15d2\" data-id=\"fff15d2\" 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-a2ca342 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a2ca342\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc5644b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bc5644b\" 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-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4bc8e6d\" data-id=\"4bc8e6d\" 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-403a8f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"403a8f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WHY CAPTIVE BREEDING IS IMPORTANT<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d808aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d808aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Captive breeding of Cinereous Vulture is important to reintroduce or reinforce the population of the species in the wild. The species faced a dramatic decline in Europe over the 20th Century, but thanks to conservation actions, it is making a comeback in some regions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Cinereous Vulture EEP currently supports Vultures Back To LIFE, a historic project aiming to reintroduce the species to Bulgaria. In 2019, the captive breeding network donated four out of the ten chicks produced to the Vultures Back To LIFE to be released to the wild. Along with this project, young birds bred within the network were released in collaboration with the VCF in Majorca, Spain and
