The coordination of captive breeding in this species was upgraded to an EEP (European Endangered Species Programme) in 2012 by EAZA, the European Association for Zoos and Aquaria, to respond to the 2007 downlisting of the species as Globally Endangered.\u00a0 In an EEP, a network of zoos and breeding centers work in a coordinated way towards maximising captive breeding for conservation purposes. The coordinator of the Egyptian vulture EEP is Anton Vaidl, curator of birds at Prague Zoo and also a member of the VCF scientific advisory board. With Vaidl\u00b4s enhanced coordination and guidelines, the number of birds produced yearly has been increasing.<\/p>\n<p> Last year the VCF an CERM (Endangered Raptors Centre Association \u2013 Italy) released 6 birds in southern Italy , as part of an experiment to test procedures and get crucial data on the feasibility and relevance of captive-breeding and restocking\/reintroduction projects with this species. Results were mixed: <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/2016\/07\/31\/remember-the-egyptian-vultures-tobia-and-sara-they-are-still-in-africa\/\">Two of the birds made it to winter in Africa<\/a>, but three downed in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p> The birds to be released in Bulgaria this year come from the Zoos in Paris and Vienna, and will be released through the hacking method in a natural niche in northern Bulgaria, close to a supplementary feeding site, and near an active Egyptian vulture nest, in collaboration with the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds\/BirdLife Bulgaria, Rusenski Lom Nature Park and Green Balkans, and in the frame of the LIFE project <a href=\"http:\/\/lifeneophron.eu\/\">The Return of the Neophron<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> We will give you more details soon \u2013 keep tuning in!<\/p>\n<p> Photo.
