Romania is preparing to reintroduce vultures to the Carpathian Mountains, restoring a keystone species absent for a century and strengthening one of Europe’s most intact wilderness areas.
Spain and Bulgaria have released new cinereous vultures into the wild, marking a major step in restoring one of Europe’s largest scavenging birds to landscapes where it vanished decades ago.
The municipality of Yunchará in Tarija, Bolivia, has established the Peña Rajada municipal protected area, safeguarding more than 20,000 hectares of high-altitude ecosystems, the habitat of the endangered Andean condor.
Since conservation efforts began in Bulgaria, the country has seen a record-breaking surge in vulture pairs.
