The Cinereous Vulture in Armenia <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A\u00a0Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius Monachus<\/em>)<\/a>\u00a0is one of the largest raptors in the world, and a\u00a0top scavenger. In Armenia, it favours\u00a0open Juniperus woodlands, which provide both nesting\u00a0and roosting\u00a0sites.\u00a0Unfortunately, this habitat is often subject to wildfires that destroy hectares of woodlands every few years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Cinereous Vulture\u00a0is classified as Endangered in the Red Book of Armenia, with\u00a0an estimated 50 breeding pairs nationwide.\u00a0Habitat loss, disturbance, poisoning, illegal\u00a0trade,\u00a0and poaching threaten this\u00a0already endangered species,\u00a0though their impacts have not been estimated due to the absence of focused studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A landmark discovery: new breeding colony in Vayots Dzor <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the spring of 2024, Lusine\u00a0Aghajanyan\u00a0and her colleague Emin Karapetyan made a discovery that would reshape what ornithologists knew about the\u00a0Cinereous Vulture<\/a>\u00a0in Armenia. They found five nests in the Arpa River valley in Vayots\u00a0Dzor\u00a0Province (south-east Armenia). All nests\u00a0contained\u00a0either nestlings or eggs, and in two of them, adult vultures were\u00a0observed. The dimension of the\u00a0colony suggests\u00a0that it had been\u00a0established\u00a0for 7-10 years.\u00a0Local testimonies confirmed the hypothesis, reporting\u00a0that large, dark vultures had been seen in the area for years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All five monitored pairs bred successfully that year, and all chicks fledged. The discovery, formally documented in Aghajanyan’s paper published in Vulture News (Vol. 87)<\/a>, marks a significant moment for Armenian ornithology.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lusine Aghajanyan\u2019s conservation efforts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lusine\u00a0Aghajanyan\u00a0has been at the forefront of vulture conservation in Armenia since 2018, working within the framework of NABU. She\u00a0initiated\u00a0a Birds of Prey research and conservation project,\u00a0focused on the four vulture species found in Armenia and two eagle species, conducting nesting area surveys across most of the country. In addition,\u00a0she\u00a0has been\u00a0voluntarily contributing to the Central Asian Vultures Project, which studies nesting areas and tags vultures in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, she\u00a0established\u00a0a vulture caretakers’ network<\/strong>: a community-based monitoring system in which locals from villages throughout Armenia monitor vultures and report concerns. Since 2021, she has tagged a total of 16 vultures: 7 Egyptian Vultures, 3 Bearded Vultures, and 6 Cinereous Vultures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start of a fertile collaboration <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the International Bearded Vulture Conference\u00a02024,\u00a0Lusine\u00a0Aghajanyan\u00a0presented the vulture conservation work underway in Armenia. The scope and rigour of the work inspired the VCF team and led to a formal partnership between VCF and the NABU Armenian Branch. The VCF provided\u00a0her with three\u00a0GPS transmitters: two for Bearded or Cinereous Vultures, and one for an Egyptian Vulture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following year, four\u00a0Cinereous Vultures<\/a>\u00a0were tagged at the Vayots\u00a0Dzor\u00a0colony, two of them fitted with VCF transmitters. One bird was named\u00a0Ishkhan\u00a0after the ranger of the protected area where it\u00a0hatched. The other\u00a0was named Arpa after the Arpa River\u00a0that flows\u00a0below the nesting cliffs.\u00a0By mid-November 2025,\u00a0both birds had\u00a0embarked on their first migration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent monitoring localizes\u00a0Arpa in Saudi Arabia, where it is moving together with four other tagged Cinereous Vultures.\u00a0Signals from\u00a0Ishkhan\u00a0suggest that the bird\u00a0most likely died\u00a0in central Saudi Arabia\u00a0\u2013\u00a0the remote location in the central\u00a0Saudi\u00a0desert\u00a0from where\u00a0this bird\u00a0transmitted for the last time has prevented confirmation of the cause of death.\u00a0Its\u00a0loss\u00a0reminds us of the constant threats\u00a0vultures\u00a0face and\u00a0underlines the importance of continued monitoring and international cooperation to\u00a0protect these important scavengers across the globe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A window to the future <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The partnership with VCF will provide a critical framework through which that commitment can be sustained and expanded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data collected from the tagged birds in Armenia will contribute to a deeper understanding of Cinereous Vulture movements across the\u00a0Caucasus, the Middle East, and Central Asia. At the same time,\u00a0Aghajanyan\u2019s\u00a0work in Vayots\u00a0Dzor\u00a0has opened\u00a0new questions on unmonitored Cinereous Vulture colonies across Armenia. The\u00a0next\u00a0chapter of this story\u00a0could bring a systematic country-wide survey,\u00a0which\u00a0could unveil some crucial information about\u00a0Cinereous Vulture distribution.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
