This news shows us that historical colonies can be recolonised and must be considered potentially active to allow for proper management of relevant conservation actions. This event also signifies the wider pattern of Griffon Vulture recovery in the Balkans, no doubt a result of several targeted conservation efforts, especially mitigating the threat of poisoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Griffon Vultures in Greece<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Griffon Vulture population in Greece has suffered a severe decline in recent decades in terms of population size and distribution. The current population of Griffon Vultures in mainland Greece amount to over 30 pairs spread across colonies in western and north-eastern parts of the country. The species has experienced a steep population decline in the country since the 1940s. In the 1980s, the population of the species was estimated at 400-450 breeding pairs with about 200 of them occurring in Crete. The plight of the Griffon Vulture continued at the turn of the 21st century, with several colonies having been wiped out in the last decade, such as Kalamas Gorge, Pineios Gorge, Nestos Gorge and Valtos Mountains \u2014 the colony that has now made a return. The main reason behind this decline is undoubtedly the illegal practice of wildlife poisoning. The dramatic population decline has unfortunately been confirmed after the recent serious and larger case of poisoning in the country that ever happened. After that case of 2012 in the Straits of Nestos, on 12 February 2020, another&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/blog\/mass-poisoning-causes-a-heavy-blow-to-the-largest-colony-of-griffon-vultures-in-mainland-greece\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massive poisoning was recorded in the area<\/a>, with 11 Griffon Vultures found as victims, of which 9 were found dead in Arakinthos and 2 that survived were treated and returned to the area for release.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tackling poisoning in Greece and the Balkans<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Several conservation initiatives and projects are tackling illegal wildlife poisoning, vultures&#8217; biggest threat, in Greece and other Balkan countries including the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeneophron.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Egyptian Vulture New LIFE<\/a>&nbsp;project,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/projects\/life-re-vultures\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE RE-Vultures<\/a>&nbsp;and the new&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/balkandetoxlife.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BalkanDetox LIFE<\/a>&nbsp;project led by us at the Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF) aiming to strengthen national capacities to fight wildlife poisoning and raise awareness about the problem across seven Balkan countries.
