I am so happy about the first bearded vulture chick in an Iberian zoo! Jerez de la Frontera has always been at the forearont of native species ex situ conservation breeding with - if possible - an in situ project to restore the species. 2021 and 4 years on ... it has been well worth the wait!!!

First flight for Hades and Hera! Two young Bearded Vultures spread their wings for the very first time in the wild this July! After over a month in an artificial nest nestled in the mountains in Maestrazgo (Spain), Hera took off on July 18, followed closely by Hades the next day. Hatched just four days apart, the pair is now settling into their new home in the Tinença de Benifassà Natural Park. This is year

Follow their journey and learn more about how we’re restoring this majestic species to its former range. #vultureconservation #beardedvultures #maestrazgo | Vulture Conservation Foundation---------------------------------------------------
