The first bird died on 2 August near Agios Ioannis in Paphos, and the second on 25 August at an electricity pole that powers a CYTA antenna in Pentalia.

However, with more vultures being tracked and data collected, it has become apparent that the situation is alarming. This pattern is not unique to Cyprus; electrocution is a significant threat to Griffon Vultures in several countries. The recent surge in incidents has raised concerns among conservationists, who are now calling for immediate action to prevent further population decline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two recent deaths bring to light a broader issue facing the restocked vulture population in Cyprus. Since the beginning of the LIFE with Vultures restocking programme, 44 vultures have been released into the wild, and 9 have died due to various causes, including four from electrocution. Other causes of death include collision, poisoning, disorientation shortly after release, and weakness soon after release. These figures highlight the multiple dangers facing vultures, with electrocution now accounting for nearly half of all deaths withing the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calls for urgent action&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are calling on the EAC and other relevant agencies to prioritize the insulation or redesign of dangerous power pole structures in areas frequently used by vultures. This need for urgent action is critical to prevent further losses of this already threatened species. Despite recent efforts, the insulation of poles remains insufficient, leaving more vultures at risk of electrocution. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing insulation on power poles or replacing them with bird-safe designs are straightforward steps that have been implemented in many European countries and beyond, enabling power networks to coexist with wildlife. It is especially frustrating that these recent deaths could have been prevented if the poles had been insulated back in 2022, when the EAC was first alerted to the dangers posed by these specific poles after the first reported vulture fatality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Griffon Vulture population in Cyprus is already under significant pressure due to habitat loss, food scarcity, and illegal poisoning. Electrocution adds yet another layer of danger for these birds. Without immediate intervention, the population could face further decline, threatening the species&#8217; survival on the island.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-11-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38240\" style=\"width:657px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-11-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-11-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-11-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-11-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-11-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-11.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A critical moment for conservation&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The deaths of \u201cIris\u201d and &#8220;CAN&#8221; are a stark reminder of the fragile state of the Griffon Vulture population in Cyprus. With only a few dozen vultures left on the island, each death is a significant blow to the species&#8217; survival. As we gain more insight into the threats these birds face, the need for decisive action becomes ever more urgent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The time to act is now. Preventing further electrocutions and ensuring the long-term survival of Griffon Vultures in Cyprus must become a priority for all relevant agencies. &nbsp; Protecting these majestic birds is not just a matter of conservation\u2014it is a matter of preserving a critical part of the island&#8217;s natural heritage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The LIFE with Vultures&nbsp;project&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-5.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-5-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifewithvultures.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE with Vultures<\/a>&nbsp;is a targeted conservation project to protect the Griffon Vulture in Cyprus.
