It is crucial to determine the state of the population in the Balkans, the age structure, the pair formation and the cliff selection for nesting. It is also the chance to record the presence of threats around the cliff faces used for roosting. The data recorded during this collective action will contribute to guide the conservation actions for the next year and keep the vultures safe during the vital breeding season. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These international collaborative actions consolidate networks and cooperation between neighbouring nations, building a safe space for vulture species that goes beyond national borders. Each one of us can contribute to this effort, with few hours of our time on a single autumn weekend: a small effort to contribute to the species conservation, and the chance to be involved in practical actions alongside teams of vulture experts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"243\" height=\"208\" data-id=\"35342\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NECCA-greece.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NECCA-greece.png 243w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NECCA-greece-14x12.png 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"394\" height=\"251\" data-id=\"8104\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hellenic-Ornithological-Society-logo-394x251-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hellenic-Ornithological-Society-logo-394x251-1.jpg 394w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hellenic-Ornithological-Society-logo-394x251-1-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" data-id=\"19963\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BSPB-Bulgarian-Society-for-the-Protection-of-Birds-BirdLife-Bulgaria-logo-1024x792.png\" alt=\"BSPB Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds: BirdLife Bulgaria logo\" class=\"wp-image-19963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BSPB-Bulgarian-Society-for-the-Protection-of-Birds-BirdLife-Bulgaria-logo-1024x792.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BSPB-Bulgarian-Society-for-the-Protection-of-Birds-BirdLife-Bulgaria-logo-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BSPB-Bulgarian-Society-for-the-Protection-of-Birds-BirdLife-Bulgaria-logo-768x594.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BSPB-Bulgarian-Society-for-the-Protection-of-Birds-BirdLife-Bulgaria-logo.png 1465w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-medium has-custom-border\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"4300\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/green-balkans-logo-394x455-1-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"green balkans logo\" class=\"wp-image-4300\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/green-balkans-logo-394x455-1-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/green-balkans-logo-394x455-1.jpg 394w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"371\" data-id=\"38507\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Thrace-Biodiversity-Protection-Society-logo-2-1024x371.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Thrace-Biodiversity-Protection-Society-logo-2-1024x371.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Thrace-Biodiversity-Protection-Society-logo-2-300x109.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Thrace-Biodiversity-Protection-Society-logo-2-768x279.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Thrace-Biodiversity-Protection-Society-logo-2-1536x557.png 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Thrace-Biodiversity-Protection-Society-logo-2-2048x743.png 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Thrace-Biodiversity-Protection-Society-logo-2-18x7.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The yearly Griffon Vulture roosting site census in the Balkans is approaching, and everyone can join the effort.
