In the next three years, she visited more than 20 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, facing numerous dangers along the way.

The BSPB team took urgent action, and alongside their specially trained dog Bars, immediately visited the place and found the vulture&#8217;s body. They informed all responsible institutions about the situation and subsequently formed an inter-institutional team with representatives from the police, prosecutor&#8217;s office and state forestry. They also launched an investigation to clarify the circumstances surrounding her death and identify the perpetrator of this cruel crime against nature. They further instituted pre-trial proceedings, and the investigation is ongoing. The expert team at the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/greenbalkans-wrbc.org\/en\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Green Balkans Wildlife Rescue Center<\/a>&nbsp;is currently examining the vulture&#8217;s carcass for further veterinary examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Poaching is a serious environmental crime<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Egyptian Vulture is a globally endangered species and one of the fastest declining birds of prey in Europe. The species is protected and its prosecution falls under the provisions of the Penal Code, which stipulates imprisonment for up to 5 years and a fine of 5,000 to 20,000 BGN in Bulgaria. Worryingly, this is the second case of vulture poaching in the\u00a0Kardzhali region in the last two years, after a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/blog\/poacher-shot-and-killed-reintroduced-cinereous-vulture-ultron-in-bulgaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reintroduced Cinereous vulture was shot<\/a>\u00a0and later died from its wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the last 30 years, the population of the Egyptian Vulture in the Balkans has decreased by 80%, and today only 26 pairs of this emblematic species are nesting in Bulgaria. Therefore, the loss of even one individual has a huge impact on the population of the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The death of Boyana is a huge loss for the nature of Bulgaria and a heavy blow for the hundreds of people who work hard to protect this globally endangered species, not only in the country but also along its entire migration path to Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Egyptian Vulture New LIFE project<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-13.png\" alt=\"Egyptian Vulture New LIFE logo\" class=\"wp-image-15273\" width=\"456\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-13.png 670w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-13-300x135.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Working collaboratively, projects like the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lifeneophron.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Egyptian Vulture New LIFE<\/a>&nbsp;aims to reinforce the Egyptian Vulture population across the Balkans, which is Europe\u2019s easternmost range for the species. By actively managing and<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/our-work\/reintroduction-and-restocking\/egyptian-vulture-bulgaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;restocking the population by releasing captive-bred birds<\/a>, the project will support the small Balkan population, numbering between 60 and 80 pairs. The Egyptian Vulture New LIFE team is working to deliver conservation measures that eliminate major known threats such as illegal poisoning and electrocution in their summer breeding grounds. They also use GPS transmitters to monitor the population to help identify and combat the threats Egyptian Vultures face.
