Uniss staff, with Dr Sara Cagelli\u2019s support from the Sassari ASL&#8217;s veterinary services, installed the feeder in the municipality of Ozieri at the Cabigliera&amp;Zidda Formaggi company. On the week before, with the support of the veterinarians of the Cagliari Local Health Authority (Dr Angelo Rosanio and Dr Claudio Cozzolino), Uniss staff installed another four vulture feeders in the municipality of Sinnai. The project foresees installing new feeding stations in Sardinian farms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fenced areas offer a solution to livestock producers while benefiting vultures. Owners can directly leave the domestic animals that passed away in those fenced areas instead of having them collected by disposal services. This action represents a financial benefit for the owners with the avoided costs and reduces carbon dioxide emissions during carcass transport and disposal. Also, a <a href=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mitigating-GHG-Emissions_vultures_PlazaandLambertucci2022.pdf\">recent study<\/a> sheds light on how vultures can help mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As one of the most efficient terrestrial scavenger species, they rapidly consume tissues, skin and organs, avoiding GHG releases through natural decomposition or by other disposal methods. Finally, the fenced areas will increase the availability of food for the Griffon Vultures in a wider range of the island, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vulture-feeding-stations-in-farms_Life-Safe-for-Vultures_Sardinia-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vulture-feeding-stations-in-farms_Life-Safe-for-Vultures_Sardinia-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vulture-feeding-stations-in-farms_Life-Safe-for-Vultures_Sardinia-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vulture-feeding-stations-in-farms_Life-Safe-for-Vultures_Sardinia-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vulture-feeding-stations-in-farms_Life-Safe-for-Vultures_Sardinia-1536x862.png 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vulture-feeding-stations-in-farms_Life-Safe-for-Vultures_Sardinia-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Vulture-feeding-stations-in-farms_Life-Safe-for-Vultures_Sardinia.png 1803w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Installing Vulture feeding stations in farms in Sardinia \u00a9 LIFE Safe for Vultures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boosting the Griffon Vulture population in Sardinia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sardinia was once home to three species of vultures: the Griffon, Cinereous and Bearded Vulture. Several threats during the last decades of the 20th century led to the extinction of the previous two species, and only the Griffon Vulture survived. From an estimated 800-1200 individuals in the 1940s, the Griffon Vulture population was confined to the north-western part of the island, with only 30 breeding pairs and 130 individuals in 2013. This remaining colony holds an important genetic heritage since it is Italy&#8217;s last natural breeding population.\u00a0To help reverse the Griffon Vulture population decline and tackle the main threats hindering species\u2019 recovery, the LIFE Safe for Vultures project builds on the experience and results of the previous project,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeundergriffonwings.eu\/en\/index.html\">LIFE Under Griffon Wings<\/a>, and ensures the conservation actions&#8217; continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Releasing Griffon Vultures in Sardinia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The local Griffon Vulture guild is about to welcome new members.
