Without help, the population simply won\u2019t survive, and could disappear in the next 15 years. A study by the Vulture Conservation Foundation found that for the species to have a real chance of survival, at least 200 vultures are needed\u2014anything less, and their future remains uncertain. Right now, only 37 remain, making them the smallest vulture population in all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if poisoning\u2014one of their biggest threats\u2014were completely stopped, it would still take over 55 years for the population to recover on its own. That\u2019s simply too long. Every new bird introduced into the wild increases their odds of survival, which is why conservationists have been working hard to reinforce the population. Spain, home to over 30,000 pairs of Griffon Vultures (roughly 90-95% of Europe\u2019s total population), has been a key partner in this effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reinforcement programme isn\u2019t new\u2014it actually began in 2012 when the local population had dropped to just 8-10 birds, and the GYPAS project was launched to bring vultures from Crete and continued with the LIFE with Vultures project in 2019. Without these interventions, the species might have already vanished from the island. But the work isn\u2019t over. Griffon Vultures reproduce slowly, and without conservation work, they won\u2019t be able to bounce back on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The LIFE with Vultures project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Life-with-vultures-logo-square-300x300.png\" alt=\"Life with vultures logo square\" class=\"wp-image-26679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Life-with-vultures-logo-square-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Life-with-vultures-logo-square-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Life-with-vultures-logo-square-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Life-with-vultures-logo-square.png 400w\" 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 for the protection of the Griffon Vulture in Cyprus.
