 Summary

Since 2012 the Aquila company delivers GPS/GSM dataloggers to various conservation projects
worldwide. Over the years the loggers have become top products in terms of endurance, long-life
operation, as well as design aimed to reduce the impact on the bird.
For the 10th anniversary the company is preparing new 9g models as well as promotional campaign.

Addressing the West African Illegal Trade in Vulture and its parts for belief-based use project has
demonstrated the power of stakeholder engagements. A total of 500,000 people have been reached
indirectly through the delivery of strong advocacy action and on-the-ground actions on vulture
conservation in Nigeria. The engagement and research at wildlife and traditional medicine markets
across Nigeria revealed a common use of vulture and other wildlife in the preparation of traditional
medicine to cure various illnesses. These findings led to a collaborative effort which saw traditional
medicine practitioners proffer sustainable plant-based alternatives to the use of vultures in traditional
medicine preparations.
The BSPB owns and operates one of the few nature conservation and information centres in Bulgaria -
Poda, near the city of Burgas on the Black Sea Coast; and the other in Madzharovo – in the Eastern
Rhodope Mountains close to the southern border with Greece. Both centres were created and have
been operating since the 1990’s, with the purpose of raising awareness for nature conservation and
sustainable development of the local communities. Both Centres are operated by the wholly owned
commercial company of BSPB – BSPB Ltd for the specific purpose of closely managing the protected
areas within which they are placed. Nature Conservation and Information Centre “Eastern Rhodopes”
is also well known as the ‘Vulture Centre’.

 Raising awareness of the plight facing the endangered Egyptian vulture, \nThe Royal Society for the
Conservation of Nature (RSCN) / Birdlife Jordan has organized a national awareness campaign that
targeted the Egyptian Vulture including display the message “The Egyptian Vulture Be Our Guest” at
Queen Alia International Airport to display the message “The Egyptian Vulture.\nBe our Guest” on a
big screen at the Arrival Hall, which shows Airport users a glimpse of the magnificent migratory bird
through a busy platform.\nThe ‘Be Our Guest’ digital board was displayed in early December 2019 for
two weeks as part of the Egyptian Vulture New LIFE project, which is one of the most ambitious ever
vulture conservation initiatives, and it reached about 382,000 people.

The CMS Vulture MsAP recommends the establishment of tracking samples to study the movement
biology of African-Eurasian as one of its recommended research actions. Since its adoption in 2017,
various studies focused on this activity have been launched in east and southern Africa and several
others are still in process. Most of these studies will use the data collected to determine the
movements of vultures related to foraging, breeding and migration. We will however look at how the
data collected from the transmitters fitted to vultures in Africa can be used to support a range of
management actions, most notably the rapid response to wildlife poisoning incidents, but also other
management actions that can be supported by the tracking of these birds.
The Egyptian Vulture Neophron percenopterus is generally migrating visitors from late August to early
June, and considerable numbers visit in the autumn and spring, mainly through the Sinai, Nile valley
and Eastern Desert. In 1982, 437 Egyptian vultures were recorded by Bijlisma at Suez, and a year later
Wimpfheimer et al counted 1,189 in the same area. A few migrants of (Neophronneophron
percnopterus) presumably winter in the country. The Egyptian vulture is a rare breeding resident in
most parts of the country, except in the extreme southeastern corner where it is common. Breeding
has been documented at Gebel Elba, Gebel Abrag, Gebel Abu Hareigal, and Wadi El-Allagi. A new
series of surveys started in early June 2013 and ended in August 2022 and give recommendation to
National Parks of Egypt for protection and conservation. The main goal was to survey the local resident
breeding Egyptian vulture–Neophron percnopterus, for this reason, site visits were limited to early
June through mid-August, when migratory vultures are not present (distinguishing wintering vultures
from local ones in the field is very difficult). The Egyptian vulture was found in three locations during
the survey: Gebel Elba National Park, Wadi El-Allagi National Park and Wadi El-Gemal National Park,
with fledglings indicating definite breeding around those areas. They start Mating from middle of
Marsh to middle of April and Fledgling seen from the last week of July and middle of August, the
estimated breeding population at those area vary from 5 to 15 breeding pairs and maximum counted
wintering and resident adult & sub-adult 50 individuals in 2017.Further detailed studies are needed to
see if pairs of the Egyptian vultures are returning annually to the same breeding ground and possibly
the same nesting area

I couldn't submit my full abstract here due to the word limit. In the heading, it is said to be maximum
800 words, but I couldn't type more than 120 words. Please help me out to submit my abstract. \nThe
study was conducted to generate the information on the foraging behaviour, feeding ecology and diet
of the Egyptian vulture Neophron percnoterus in the landfill site of central west of Nepal. Studies was
carried out from 06:00-18:00 hrs. in the month of September using the video cameras surveillance for
foraging study while feeding activity including dietary items were directly observed. Present study
found that the adult spent more of its time for foraging food when compared to feeding, maintenance
and alert time spent behaviours
