century, Cinereous Vultures (Aegypius Monachus) were widely distributed across the Balkans. Unfortunately, habitat loss, poaching, and reduced food sources, drove the species closer to extinction. In Bulgaria, in particular, the last breeding pair was documented near the Studen Kladenets reservoir in 1993. Today, the last natural colony of Cinereous Vultures in the Balkans is located in the Dadia National Park in Greece.  \n\nThe LIFE Rhodope Vulture project is dedicated to the recovery of the Cinereous Vultures population in the vast cross-border Rhodope mountains, between Bulgaria and Greece. The project aims to increase food availability for the species and address human wildlife conflicts, which often indirectly affects vultures. Upon creating the conditions for the Cinereous Vultures to thrive, the project will reintroduce birds from Spain to establish a new colony in Bulgaria and conserve the Greek colony in Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli National Park. Lastly, the project aims to foster cooperation among local businesses, conservation initiatives, and stakeholders, and raise awareness about the ecological benefits of Cinereous Vultures.
