An international seminar for capacity building for the study and conservation of the Egyptian Vulture on the Balkans, along the flyway and at its wintering grounds took place in the Eastern Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria, in 2013. Within the LIFE + project “The return of the Neophron” was created a film, dedicated to the importance of the international collaboration for the conservation of this globally endangered species.

In the film participate representatives of environmental organizations from all Balkan countries where the Egyptian vultures still occurs: Bulgaria, Greece, FYROM, Albania and Turkey, as well as experts from the UK and Sudan – a key wintering area of the Balkan population.

The film highlights the role of vultures for the balance of ecosystems, the threats and the conservation activities.
