Which habitats are particularly suitable for Bearded Vultures? Sergio Vignali has investigated this question as part of a research project at the University of Bern. Besides a fundamental interest in this question, there is also a concrete conservation concern behind this work, which was done in close collaboration with our partners Stiftung Pro Bartgeier. Our very own Franziska Lörcher, the Vulture Conservation Foundation's (VCF) Science and Conservation Coordinator, and Daniel Hegglin, the VCF's Vice President, also significantly contributed to this study.
