On 7 August, at the headquarters of the Sirente Velino Regional Nature Park in Rocca di Mezzo, Rewilding Apennines presented the study assessing whether the environmental and social conditions now exist to bring the bearded vulture and the cinereous vulture back to the Central Apennines. Almost two years of work, sixteen authors from six European countries, three hundred and fifty pages.

A 350-page study, two years of work, and contributions from sixteen authors across six European countries: Rewilding Apennines and Rewilding Europe have published the document assessing the conditions for reintroducing two large vulture species to the Central Apennines.

3 griffon vultures and 1 fox dead close to a sheep carcass. In all likelihood, this is yet another case of wildlife poisoning, the first detected in 2024 in the Central Apennines.

The griffon vulture is an iconic and ecologically important species in the Central Apennines of Italy. Aided by new funding, the local rewilding team are working hard to support population growth.

During this autumn, the monitoring of the Griffon vultures’ population in the Central Apennines is going on

Rewilding Apennines is looking for a part-time Vulture Field Officer to monitor griffon vultures in Central Apennines!
