Twenty-two Cinereous Vultures rescued and rehabilitated in Extremadura, Spain arrived successfully in Bulgaria today, during the largest-ever transport of its kind, with the goal to reintroduce the species in the Balkan Mountain. For the past few years, the Junta de Extremadura has been donating several recovered Cinereous Vultures to the Vultures Back to LIFE project.
The transport of the 22 vultures was coordinated and organized by the Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF).
The group will feed the new Cinereous vulture colonies in Vrachanska Mountain, Kotel Mountain and Nature Park Sinite kamani, supported by the project’s teams locally. So far, the Bulgarian project received 59 Spanish Cinereous Vultures.
