Over 100 participants have joined us in Canillo, Andorra for this year's Annual Bearded Vulture Meeting to discuss the latest Bearded Vulture conservation insights in Europe and beyond! It was great to see the continued commitment and learn the most recent updates about the fantastic work our international colleagues carry out to protect Europe's rarest vulture. Review the summaries we compiled from the presentations to learn more.

Together for Vultures
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Together for Vultures! Here at the VCF, we have been sustainably growing our conservation actions over the last few years to protect Europe's vulture species - Bearded Vultures, Griffon Vultures, Cinereous Vultures and Egyptian Vultures. We are involved in most conservation projects across Europe, tackling threats and reintroducing vultures, and together with our partners, we have seen the return of vultures in different regions. We have recently produced a film discussing our work and the status of Europe's vultures that premiered at the European Vulture Conference 2019 ([link removed]) , and you can now watch it too!
