The aviary will be their home for several months, giving them the opportunity to safely adapt to the local environment. It will increase their chances of survival after their release, which should take place in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first period in the acclimatisation aviary is the most delicate. A team of experts from the <a href=\"https:\/\/bspb.org\/en\/\">Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB)<\/a>, coordinator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/projects\/life-rhodope-vulture\/\">LIFE Rhodope Vulture<\/a> project, is closely monitoring the birds conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One common goal: a new breeding colony in Bulgaria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cinereous Vultures are one of the rarest bird species in the Balkans. The last nesting pair was recorded in 1993, more than thirty years ago. Habitat loss, poisonings, and lack of food availability slowly drove the species to extinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the last natural breeding colony of <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/vultures\/cinereous-vulture\/\">Cinereous Vultures<\/a> on the Balkans is found in Dad\u00eda National Park in Greece. This year the colony celebrated the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/blog\/record-population-of-cinereous-vultures-in-dadia-two-years-after-the-wildfire\/\">record number of 44 nesting pairs<\/a>; nevertheless, it is unlikely that a natural recolonisation will bring Cinereous Vultures from Greece to Bulgaria. The Greek colony is, in fact, still limited in size and registers slow population growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since a natural recolonisation is improbable, in 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/bspb.org\/en\/\">BSPB<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/rewilding-rhodopes.com\/\">Rewilding Rhodope Foundation<\/a> launched a Cinereous Vultures reintroduction initiative. This is the fourth group of vultures transported from Spain to Bulgaria with the aim of establishing a local colony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cross-boundary <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/projects\/life-rhodope-vulture\/\">LIFE Rhodope Vulture<\/a> project, that is managing the reintroductions and monitoring the bird after their release, is creating also the conditions for the species to thrive in the Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains. At the same time, it is protecting and supporting the only surviving Cinereous Vultures colony in Greece\u2019s Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Black-vultures-in-the-Dadia-Forest-Photo-Petros-Babakas-Archive-of-the-Management-Unit-of-the-Evros-Delta-and-Dadia-National-Parks-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Cinereous Vultures in the Dadia Forest, \u00a9 Petros Babakas, Archive of the Management Unit of Evros Delta and Dadia National Parks.\" class=\"wp-image-39949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Black-vultures-in-the-Dadia-Forest-Photo-Petros-Babakas-Archive-of-the-Management-Unit-of-the-Evros-Delta-and-Dadia-National-Parks-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Black-vultures-in-the-Dadia-Forest-Photo-Petros-Babakas-Archive-of-the-Management-Unit-of-the-Evros-Delta-and-Dadia-National-Parks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Black-vultures-in-the-Dadia-Forest-Photo-Petros-Babakas-Archive-of-the-Management-Unit-of-the-Evros-Delta-and-Dadia-National-Parks-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Black-vultures-in-the-Dadia-Forest-Photo-Petros-Babakas-Archive-of-the-Management-Unit-of-the-Evros-Delta-and-Dadia-National-Parks-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Black-vultures-in-the-Dadia-Forest-Photo-Petros-Babakas-Archive-of-the-Management-Unit-of-the-Evros-Delta-and-Dadia-National-Parks.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cinereous Vultures \u00a9 Petros Babakas, Archive of the Management Unit of Evros Delta and Dadia National Parks. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promising first signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years after the first release, the Bulgarian Eastern Rhodopes Cinereous Vulture population is starting to show some promising signs.
