A LIFE Rupis project<\/a> took an integrated approach to the conservation of natural values, based on combining nature protection and the development of the unique region of the international Douro canyon. We joined forces across Portugal and Spain united by a river to ensure the conservation of threatened birds like the Egyptian Vulture and Bonelli’s eagle, which know no borders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project’s Layman’s report is now available in English, Portuguese and Spanish, providing an overview of the project’s objectives and achievements. Films, funded by the MAVA Foundation’s<\/a> Learning and Sharing Grant, were also produced discussing the project’s actions and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackling threats<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The two target species and other birds of prey have a brighter future now in the region thanks to the project’s conservation actions. The establishment of supplementary feeding stations increased food availability, where the food provision of 36,572 kg resulted in 955 feeding sessions for vultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
