Rescue, breeding, release and monitoring program for Bearded Vultures in the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa

In all natural populations of birds of prey there are reproductive units whose productivity, understood as chicks flown/year, is zero or practically zero. In the case of the bearded vulture, the current recovery plans in the Pyrenean Mountains contemplate specific actions to avoid repeated events of reproductive failure. The Bearded Vulture Working Group (Ministry of the Environment) developed a management protocol for the extraction of bearded vulture specimens from the natural environment.
