After spending two days in the centre of Cazorla the delegates of the Annual Bearded Vulture Meeting 2018 headed up to the mountains on a field outing to close the annual gathering of bearded vulture conservationists.<\/p>\n

At the begining of the Annual Meeting delegates heard from the world leading work the Junta de Andaluc\u00eda have been doing on fighting illegal wildlife poisoning and during the field trip we got to see a demonstration of the anti-poisoning canine units<\/a>. During the demonstration the team hid baits containing the illgeal insecticide Carbofuran around a site along and released a dog trainned to detect poisoned baits. When the dog found the bait they indicated to the handler the location by sitting next to location where the bait was hidden. The dogs successfully managed to find all the baits that were hidden in the demonstration site in remarkable speed, the unit of around 30 dogs are at the frontier of making the bearded vultures in Andalucia safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team at Fundaci\u00f3n Gypaetus also took the delegates to behind the scenes of the Guadalent\u00edn Specialised Breeding Centre and even though breeding season had just began we managed to witness some of the population of the centre through the extensive camera system installed in the aviaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
