These magnificent birds, which play a vital role in the ecosystem by feeding on dead animals, are now experiencing a resurgence, much to the delight of conservationists and locals alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-abe503d9\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Challenges and conservation efforts&nbsp;<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the good news, the Griffon Vultures\u2019 survival continues to face several challenges. The decline in livestock farming, which has reduced the availability of natural food sources like sheep carcasses, and unintentional poisoning from baits set for predators have long posed threats to their existence. However, coordinated efforts, such as the establishment of feeding stations on the islands of Cres and Mount U\u010dka, have mitigated these issues. These feeding grounds, managed by the County Public Institution \u201cPriroda\u201d and U\u010dka Nature Park, ensure that the vultures have a stable food supply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/projects\/life-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE SUPport<\/a> project, co-financed by the European Union\u2019s LIFE programme, has been instrumental in this success.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThe recently conducted monitoring of active nests as part of the LIFE SUPport project showed that the conservation measures that have been implemented for the past few years with the aim of recovering the Griffon Vulture population continued to give good results, and we expect that this new positive trend will continue in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Dubravko Dender, Project Manager, Biom&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"963\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38360\" style=\"width:687px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-6.png 963w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-6-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-6-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-6-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(c) Elvis Vuleta, JU Priroda\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting Croatia\u2019s vultures with Europe&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the long-term goals of the LIFE SUPport project is to reconnect Croatia\u2019s vulture population with other populations in Europe, particularly in the Alps and the Balkans. By targeting the main threats\u2014disturbances during nesting, food shortages, poisoning, and electrocution on power lines\u2014the project aims to facilitate the re-population of vultures in their historical breeding areas on the mainland.

As Croatia continues to prioritise the protection of these magnificent birds, the future of the Griffon Vulture population looks promising. With ongoing support from local stakeholders, partners and conservationists, these majestic birds are not only surviving but thriving, securing their place in Croatia\u2019s natural heritage for generations to come.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38359\" style=\"width:672px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-5.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-5-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-5-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(c) Biom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-56729c3a\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">About LIFE SUPport&nbsp;<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/blog\/new-project-life-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE SUPport <\/a>aims to strengthen Croatia\u2019s endangered Griffon Vulture (<em>Gyps fulvus<\/em>) population.
