One of the main projects developed by the FCQ are the actions for the development and execution of the Bearded Vulture Recovery Plan in Aragon and the LIFE+Bearded Vulture Network project whose 2018 results are presented below.
Coalición Por Otra PAC, a platform of organic production organizations, extensive livestock farmers, environmental NGOs, development cooperation or experts in nutrition and consumption, which aims to influence the future Community Agricultural Policy (CAP).
In order to diversify agricultural activity in mountain areas, the Sobrarbe Agrodiverse and Sustainable Sobrarbe Cooperation Group was launched in 2017.
The Critical Area (CA) managers are a network of FCQ volunteers who collaborate in the conservation of the bearded vulture through the monitoring, identification and communication of threats that may occur in the CAs.
The Bearded Vulture became extinct in the Picos de Europa in the mid-20th century, with the last reproduction data dating back to the 1960s. The main objective of this project was to create the necessary environmental conditions for the permanent establishment of the Bearded Vulture specimens present in the mountainous environment of the Picos de Europa.
The Foundation for the Conservation of the Bearded Vulture (FCQ) and the Aragonese Association of Pyrenean Breed Cattle Breeders (ASAPI), join forces with the support of the Aínsa Town Council, owner of the municipal slaughterhouse, the University of Zaragoza and the Sobrarbe Businessmen Association to encourage the consumption of Pyrenean Breed meat km 0, born, raised and slaughtered in Sobrarbe itself, thus facilitating contributions to the necrophagous bird feeder managed by the FCQ in Aínsa and closing a circle of development and sustainability that encompasses livestock farming, catering and environmental conservation.
The Pilot Project "Innovation and sustainable development through the recovery of endangered species", financed by the Ministry of the Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs within the framework of the National Rural Network, is presented as a work initiative that aims to activate innovative mechanisms of social promotion capable of promoting sustainable rural development initiatives linked to the conservation of endangered species. The main objective of this project was to create the necessary environmental conditions for the permanent establishment of the Bearded Vulture specimens present in the mountainous environment of the Picos de Europa.
