These findings stem from the annual census conducted on 28 October 2023, as part of the objectives of the LIFE Safe for Vultures project, which aims to monitor demographic trends and assess the impact of conservation initiatives on vulture populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Census data collection and results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by project partners and supported by organizations such as Lipu, L&#8217;Altra Bosa, and Legambiente, the census involved meticulous data collection efforts. Equipped with binoculars, telescopes, and cameras, expert observers and collaborators meticulously recorded flight patterns, behaviours, and counts, ensuring accuracy in assessing the size of the Griffon Vulture population on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The census, spanning 19 observation points across key areas: 17 in the area between Sindia, Pozzomaggiore, Bosa, Villanova Monteleone, Alghero and Ittireddu, where the Sardinian population is concentrated, the only native colony of the species remaining in Italy, and 2 Urzulei and Villasalto, where the reintroduction of the Griffon Vulture is being prepared. The Sardinian population, the sole remaining native colony of the species in Italy, displayed a notable rise, with\u00a0<strong>estimates ranging from a minimum of 332 individuals to a maximum of 378 individuals, representing an 11.8% surge from 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reproduction monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The latest census data align with breeding monitoring results from 2023,<\/strong> <strong>revealing the presence of 83 pairs and the hatching of 55 fledglings.<\/strong> Notably, in North-West Sardinia, the primary nesting area for these majestic birds, 76 pairs were found in the Bosano region (representing 93.2%) and 7 in the Algherese area (6.8%). There&#8217;s been an increase in reproductive metrics at the Porto Conte colony, with two additional territorial pairs, two more eggs laid, and two additional fledglings observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in the Bosano population, there are now 14 occupied colonies and sites, marking a notable increase of seven territorial pairs, four eggs, and one fledgling. <strong>Despite these positive trends, reproductive success and productivity experienced a slight decrease compared to 2022<\/strong>, down by 2.47% and 5.71% respectively. This decline is attributed to a rise in pre-natal mortality, with 13 broods lost compared to nine in 2022, and the unfortunate loss of two young before their fledglings, resulting in a postnatal mortality rate of 3.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One significant observation is that in highly disturbed sites, territorial pairs may increase initially but then abandon their nests. <strong>In contrast, in less disturbed areas such as sea-facing cliffs, productivity and reproductive success remain close to 100%<\/strong>. These findings shed light on the varied dynamics of Griffon Vulture populations in Sardinia, highlighting the importance of preserving undisturbed habitats for their continued growth and conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integration of local and released vultures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Griffon-Vulture-Restocking-in-Sardinia-Release-in-Monte-Minerva-6th-of-Juin-2018--1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Releasing Griffon Vultures i n June 2018 at Monte Minerva, Sardinia, as part of restocking efforts \u00a9 LIFE Under Griffon Wings\" class=\"wp-image-22216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Griffon-Vulture-Restocking-in-Sardinia-Release-in-Monte-Minerva-6th-of-Juin-2018--1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Griffon-Vulture-Restocking-in-Sardinia-Release-in-Monte-Minerva-6th-of-Juin-2018--300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Griffon-Vulture-Restocking-in-Sardinia-Release-in-Monte-Minerva-6th-of-Juin-2018--768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Griffon-Vulture-Restocking-in-Sardinia-Release-in-Monte-Minerva-6th-of-Juin-2018--1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Griffon-Vulture-Restocking-in-Sardinia-Release-in-Monte-Minerva-6th-of-Juin-2018-.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Releasing Griffon Vultures in June 2018 at Monte Minerva, Sardinia, as part of restocking efforts \u00a9 LIFE Under Griffon Wings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of particular interest is the integration of local and released individuals, facilitated by collaborative efforts among the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Sassari, Forestas Agency, Forestry and Environmental Surveillance Corps of the Sardinia Region, E-Distribuzione, and Vulture Conservation Foundation, which have yielded significant progress in the recovery of Griffon Vulture populations in Sardinia. Through initiatives like the LIFE Under Griffon Wings and LIFE Safe for Vultures project, numerous Griffon Vultures, primarily of Spanish origin, have been released into the wild to bolster local population numbers. <strong>Notably, the successful integration of both native and released vultures is evident, with mixed couples now observed, showcasing the effectiveness of restocking endeavours<\/strong>. Furthermore, observations reveal varying productivity rates between disturbed and undisturbed habitats, underscoring the critical importance of preserving pristine environments for optimal breeding conditions. This success is underscored by the discovery of nine mixed pairs, with seven identified in the Bosano area and two in the Algherese area, <strong>marking the second consecutive year where a pair entirely composed of adults introduced through restocking has been recorded,<\/strong> promising a positive trajectory for Griffon Vulture conservation efforts in Sardinia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While challenges persist, the growing Griffon Vulture population in Sardinia stands as a testament to the effectiveness of concerted conservation efforts and the importance of collaboration among project partners but also working extensively with multiple stakeholders, from scientists to farmers and local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the LIFE Safe for Vultures project&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"436\" height=\"268\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/LIFE-Safe-for-Vultures-logo.png\" alt=\"LIFE Safe for Vultures logo\" class=\"wp-image-19993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/LIFE-Safe-for-Vultures-logo.png 436w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/LIFE-Safe-for-Vultures-logo-300x184.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/blog\/life-safe-for-vultures-new-project-reinforces-griffon-vulture-population-in-sardinia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE Safe for Vultures<\/a>&nbsp;is a project co-financed by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cinea.ec.europa.eu\/life_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EU\u2019s LIFE Programme<\/a>, acting as the first step to the restoration of the vulture guild in Sardinia.
