Together with the help of our supporters and partners, we achieved many vulture conservation triumphs ([link removed]) in 2021. As we welcome the new year, we are ready to rise to all the challenges that lie ahead. We have already set ambitious vulture conservation goals ([link removed]) relating to our work on captive breeding, monitoring, tackling threats, research, and reintroduction and restocking.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement – we will do our best to make 2022 yet another vulturific year!

Saving 18 Griffon Vultures from a potential poisoning incident in the Balkans
[link removed]
After our local partners MES became aware of a poisoning incident with dogs in the Republic of North Macedonia, they immediately responded to the scene, mobilising the authorities. The situation became more critical when data from the BalkanDetox LIFE's intensive monitoring tool indicated that Griffon Vultures were preparing to land nearby. The team on site acted accordingly and managed to prevent the vultures from coming in contact with the poison, saving their lives!
