Implementation period: September 2015 to July 2021
Implementation area: Alps, the Massif Central and the Pyrenees (from the Pre-Alps to the Pyrenees via the Southern regions of the Massif Central)
Target Vulture species: Bearded Vulture
The LIFE GypConnect aims to establish a breeding population of bearded vultures in the Massif Central, as well as in the Pre-Alps, through reintroduction, and promoting dispersal movements between the Alps and the Pyrenean population.
This project is part of the VCF strategy to restore the species in western Europe, now that the Alpine population is firmly re-established, and with two pairs now breeding in in Andalucía (following extinction there in the 80s, and the start of the reintroduction project 10 years ago), this project aims to promote movements of the species between Iberia and the Alps, thus promoting gene flow, which will also help increasing the genetic diversity of the alpine population, and thus accelerate the end of the reintroduction project there.
