Behind the growth is a long-term strategy that has combined direct interventions on the species and constant work on the causes that had led to its decline: <strong>accidental poisonings, scarcity of food resources, disturbance at nesting sites, electrocution along power lines<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-mappa-che-cambia\"><strong>The changing map<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The most significant change concerns distribution. Whereas until a few years ago almost 90% of Sardinian griffon vultures were concentrated in the <strong>Bosano<\/strong>, today the population has spread over several areas. Sixty percent remain in the historic core, but the <strong>Meilogu<\/strong> now hosts almost a quarter of the individuals, while new stable presences have been detected in <strong>Sarrabus-Gerrei<\/strong> and other <strong>areas in the central-south<\/strong>. Geographic expansion is a decisive indicator because it reduces the overall vulnerability of the species and strengthens its resilience in the face of critical local events.   <\/p>\n\n<p>This redistribution has been <strong>fostered by a network of farm carnai, controlled feeding stations <\/strong>that ensure safe and continuous food, and by <strong>targeted release programs of young griffon vultures <\/strong>from rehabilitation centers, mainly in Spain. An action that has allowed the species to colonize territories that had been abandoned for decades. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-spinta-della-riproduzione\"><strong>The thrust of reproduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Reproductive data in particular contribute to the growth. In the northwest of the island, the only ascertained nesting area, <strong>120 territorial pairs<\/strong> were surveyed, <strong>an increase of 14.3 percent over the previous year.<\/strong> Deposition and fledged young also grew, while postnatal mortality declined. For the first time, 100 pairs are exceeded in the Bosano, a symbolic threshold that certifies the consolidation of the colony.   <\/p>\n\n<p>There is no lack of signs of genetic integration: pairs formed by native individuals and reintroduced individuals, as well as griffon vultures recovered and cared for after accidents, have successfully completed the breeding cycle. A biological mosaic that reinforces the variability and future stability of the population. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-modello-di-conservazione\"><strong>A model of conservation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The path that led to these results begins with the European project <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifeundergriffonwings.eu\/it\/index.html\">Life Under Griffon Wings<\/a><\/strong> and continues with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesafeforvultures.eu\/\">Life Safe for Vultures<\/a><\/strong>, active until 2026. In addition to restocking, interventions have included securing power lines, awareness campaigns on the use of lead-free ammunition, and extensive monitoring, carried out with coordinated teams and simultaneous observations to avoid duplicate counts. <\/p>\n\n<p>This large necrophagous bird <strong>performs a crucial ecological function<\/strong>, helping to remove carcasses and reducing the spread of pathogens. Its return signals an overall improvement in environmental balances. <\/p>\n\n<p>The challenge now is to maintain the trend and accompany the expansion to new nesting areas, until a widespread presence is rebuilt over the entire island.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behind the success, widespread work on land protection, monitoring and management<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":15335,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAowscnaCw:productID":"","_app_feed_target":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1616],"tags":[2222,2223],"class_list":["post-15333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animals","tag-birds","tag-griffons"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>From the brink of extinction to 500 specimens: the redemption of Sardinian griffon vultures &#8226;
