The Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) is an endangered species that suffers a steep decline throughout its range
The aim of this proposed project is to provide further insight into the Balkan population’s wintering strategy changes by means of an overview of current occurrences of Egyptian vultures wintering on the island
of Crete.
The project is supported by the National Environment & Climate Change Agency (N.E.C.C.A.) under the Call “Actions to protect, conserve and promote biodiversity. Field studies of endemic, endangered and nationally important species of Greece»”
