Experts from all over Europe, together with local and national institutional representatives, addressed crucial issues such as mortality risk mitigation (by electrocution, poisoning, or collisions with wind turbines), and food and habitat availability. They also discussed reintroduction and monitoring protocols for the different vulture species. At the end of the meeting, the team presented the consultation results with the intention of working on a 10-year island wide conservation plan for vultures species. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"40108\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07018-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Woman explaining in front of a screen\" class=\"wp-image-40108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07018-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07018-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07018-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07018-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07018-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07018-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fiammetta Berlinguer, scientific coordinator of LIFE Safe for Vultures project, introducing the feasibility study.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"40115\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07108-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"group of people discussing cinereous vulture conservation in Sardinia\" class=\"wp-image-40115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07108-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07108-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07108-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07108-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07108-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC07108-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bearded Vulture working group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The history of vultures in Sardinia&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, Sardinia hosted thriving populations of <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/vultures\/bearded-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bearded<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/vultures\/cinereous-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cinereous<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/vultures\/griffon-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Griffon<\/a> Vultures (<em>Gypaetus barbatus, Aegypius monachus <\/em>e<em> Gyps fulvus<\/em>), with estimated populations of over 1,500 Griffons, 150 <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/vultures\/cinereous-vulture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cinereous <\/a>vulture pairs, and 35 Bearded vulture pairs.

The ecological and social conditions are indeed positive. The extensive livestock farming traditional in Sardinia, guarantee adequate food availability for vultures of all species on the island. In addition, the LIFE project and its partners, made impressive progress in reducing wildlife poisoning on the island through dedicated anti-poisoning actions. Currently electrocution seems to be the main threat for raptors in Sardinia. \u00a0Overall, threats levels seem to be low and under control, and there is plenty of food. Further, there is currently capacity and political will to continue successful vulture conservation projects. Lastly, the reintroduction of the Bearded Vulture in Sardinia would complement the conservation efforts going on with this species in neighbouring Corsica, providing needed ecological space for the small Corsica-Sardinia ancient population.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A positive overview does not mean that everything is set.
