Dear colleagues,

I am glad to share with you the Annual report on the release of captive-bred and wild Egyptian vultures in Bulgaria in 2024 which is available for download here:

In 2024 in total 7 EVs released in previous years returned back to the release site and 4 of them, now adults, occupied breeding territories with wild partners. Only 6 years after the start of the program we had the first successful breeding of released birds - two pairs raised in total three juveniles. This is a tremendous success for the program and proves its importance. In 2024 we released 6 more young Egyptian Vulture and all of them survived and reached the wintering grounds.


Feel free to share the public report with other colleagues who might be interested!

Best regards,
Volen

As an insider, I can say that Volen's dedication and perseverance to the EV is almost unparalleled. I wish him many more years of greater successes and the ability to build a team of similarly motivated conservation biologists willing to grow in the remarkable effort to restore the species. 

Here is a link of today's video giving a glimpse of the Cinereous Vulture restoration efforts in the same area.

Greetings to everybody,
Ivo

Dear all, 

Thank you for your positive responses! The results of the program are promising and inspiring indeed. This could not be possible without the hard work, dedication and support of so many people and partner organizations! This reaffirms the importance of staying united, seeking partnerships and maintaining, improving, and expanding them so we can all achieve our conservation goals and dreams.

All the best,
Volen

Dear all,

Sincere apology, there is some technical problem with the link I sent previously and it leads to the report from 2023. 
Here is another link but to avoid confusion please find the 2024 report attached to this email :)


But anyway both reports are worth reading :)

Best,
Volen
