- In 1986, Bearded Vultures disappeared from the skies of Andalusia. One of the ways to bring the species back from extinction was the establishment of the Bearded Vulture captive breeding centre of Guadalentín in 1996, aiming to produce captive-bred chicks for release into the wild. The Centre has come a long way since then, and today, it breeds the most Bearded Vultures in captivity every year. Guadalentín is the most important Centre within the Vulture Conservation Foundation's (VCF) Bearded Vulture Captive Breeding Network (EEP) as it contributes the most chicks every year to reintroduction programmes in Andalusia, but also in other regions across Spain, France and the Alps. It also specializes in double adoptions and takes young Bearded Vultures from other Bearded Vulture EEP partners to naturally rear the chicks. As of 2020, the VCF also assumed management of the Centre following an agreement with the Junta de Andalucía. Watch a video all about Guadalentín showing the commitment of the staff, how they rear the most chicks naturally ever year and how they release vultures to the wild!

This is amazing! Had no idea you guys were doing such good work for conservation!❤😁🙏
Awesome!
So does the species normally only raise one chick? Des it have any psychological effect on the eldest that its parents stop warming it so early and it gets moved?
