everywhere in Bulgaria during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. But due to habitat loss, the widespread use of poisons to combat terrestrial predators, agricultural intensification, lack of food resources, and deliberate shooting of individuals, the species was driven to extinction. The only original colony of the Balkans species is located in the Dadia National Park, Greece, where often single birds were observed visiting vulture feeding sites in the Eastern Rhodopes, reaching both the Balkan Mountains and the Kresna Gorge. To bring the species back to the country, local and international organisations came together and launched the Vultures Back To LIFE project in 2015.

href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/life-projects\/vultures-back-to-life\/\">Vultures Back to LIFE<\/a>\u00a0aims to reintroduce the Cinereous Vulture to Bulgaria and establish breeding pairs. The team will transfer and release around 60 birds, some from captive-breeding, but mostly coming from wildlife rehabilitation centres in Extremadura, Spain, into the wild in Bulgaria. The project will strengthen these efforts by tackling threats such as poisoning and electrocution, creating supplementary food stations, and improving the nesting conditions. By 2020,\u00a0two out of the three expected project results have been achieved, and progress fuelled hope for the third goal. Firstly,\u00a0the simultaneous presence of more than one individual in the release area at the Eastern Balkan Mountain was attained with about 5-15 individuals present at a time. Secondly, the species was present in the release area was throughout the year. Finally, the next important milestone of the project is a breeding attempt, which will restore the status of the species from Extinct to Critically endangered in the country. In 2020, the reintroduced Cinereous Vultures Balkan and VCF Know-How formed a pair in Bulgaria for the first time since the species extinction, exhibiting breeding behaviour such as exchange of gifts like bones and courtship flights, fuelling hope for this goal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37058d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"37058d4\" 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-34b79b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"34b79b7\" 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-7d92fe0\" data-id=\"7d92fe0\" 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-009e889 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"009e889\" 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\">FIRST CINEREOUS VULTURE PAIR<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56d3785 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56d3785\" 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>The male Balkan and female VCF Know-How originate from Spain and were transferred and released to Bulgaria as part of the efforts to reintroduce the species.

One of the primary objectives is to secure Cinereous Vultures from rehabilitation centres in Spain that are donated by the Junta de Extremadura. These vultures are rescued and typically enter the Los Hornos recovery centre, managed by the Junta de Extremadura, as they are suffering from malnutrition and health issues. Once they recover and are fit to return to the wild, they are transferred to\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.amus.org.es\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amus.org.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMUS (Acci\u00f3n por el Mundo Salvaje)<\/a>\u00a0based in Extremadura, which has specialized installations authorized by the sanitary service for keeping the vultures during the necessary quarantine period. Before their transfer, all the birds are tested for heavy metals, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines, avian flu, Newcastle and gender determination. The Vulture Conservation Foundation then organizes the transport to Bulgaria for their eventual release to the wild, coordinated by the Green Balkans and FWFF! Furthermore, the VCF\u00a0also provides the team with GPS transmitters and supports the monitoring of the birds to understand their behaviour and range, which helps save birds on time if necessary, identify threats and inform targeted conservation actions. To strengthen the reintroduction efforts, the VCF also assesses the current anti-poisoning activities to establish protocols in Bulgaria and develops strategy and protocols for artificial feeding.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-673426d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"673426d\"
