The White-backed Vulture, a Shub-Saharan species, is the most common and widespread vulture species in Africa, occurring across the East, West and South of the continent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being a rare visitor in Northern Africa, a few individuals have been seen in the Iberian Peninsula, indicating that they probably crossed Morocco following the flocks of Griffon Vultures migrating northwards. Back in 2021, at least two White-backed Vultures visited the Spanish side of the Strait of Gibraltar, and two others were marked on the Moroccan side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data shared by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundacionmigres.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fundaci\u00f3n Migres<\/a>\u00a0shows that the White-backed Vulture equipped with a GPS transmitter spent the winter months in the province of C\u00e1diz, with occasional visits to M\u00e1laga and Seville. As warmer days arrived with spring, it crossed the Guadalquivir valley and went back and forth along the border between Portugal and the regions of Extremadura and Castilla y Le\u00f3n in Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture-in-Iberia_Fundacion-MIGRES-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"The flights of the African White-backed Vulture tagged in Tarifa \u00a9 Fundaci\u00f3n Migres \" class=\"wp-image-27189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture-in-Iberia_Fundacion-MIGRES-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture-in-Iberia_Fundacion-MIGRES-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture-in-Iberia_Fundacion-MIGRES-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture-in-Iberia_Fundacion-MIGRES-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture-in-Iberia_Fundacion-MIGRES.jpeg 1184w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The flights of the African White-backed Vulture tagged in Tarifa \u00a9 Fundaci\u00f3n Migres <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The African White-backed Vulture is a Critically Endangered species<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.int\/raptors\/en\/workinggroup\/multi-species-action-plan-conserve-african-eurasian-vultures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vulture Multi-species Action Plan (Vulture MsAP)<\/a>, co-developed by the Vulture Conservation Foundation and endorsed by the Convention for Migratory Species, there are 270,000 African White-backed Vulture (<em>Gyps africanus<\/em>) individuals, and the species is facing a rapid decline.

In addition, illegal trapping and killing for traditional belief practices, national and international illegal trade and changes in their habitat with a possible reduction of food availability hinder the species\u2019 survival. Other anthropic causes, such as power infrastructure and disturbance of nesting places also pose problems for African vulture species like the White-backed Vulture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A large-scale forager with an upturn in sightings in Southern Europe&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered a sedentary species, some African White-backed Vultures, especially juveniles, forage across vast areas. In South Africa, for instance, six immature birds left the country and crossed five other countries (Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe), with a mean foraging range of 269,103 km2. Food availability and seasonal rains might be some of the reasons for their shifting ranges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"744\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture_distribution-Map_Vulture-MsAP-1024x744.png\" alt=\"Distribution map of the White-backed Vulture \u00a9 Vulture Multi-species Action Plan (Vulture MsAP) \" class=\"wp-image-27190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture_distribution-Map_Vulture-MsAP-1024x744.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture_distribution-Map_Vulture-MsAP-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture_distribution-Map_Vulture-MsAP-768x558.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture_distribution-Map_Vulture-MsAP-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/White-backed-Vulture_distribution-Map_Vulture-MsAP.png 1415w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Distribution map of the White-backed Vulture \u00a9 Vulture Multi-species Action Plan (Vulture MsAP) <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Monitoring the vagrancy patterns with the GPS data collected is important to understand the wider conservation issues for the declining populations of the species in Africa.
