Download a Pdf Version at Web Page Adult Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus meridionalis) Photo: Ch. van Royen, South Africa FOREWORD Now my turn has come to take up the baton in guiding the Foundation for the Conser- vation of the Bearded Vulture. I take it with respect and gratitude toward my predeces- sors, the late lamented RICHARD FAUST and MAARTEN BIJLEVELD VAN LEXMOND. I am also most grateful to the other two Members of FCBV’s Board who have now resi- gned, PIERRE GOELDLIN DE TIEFENAU and JAN LOUWMAN. The work they all have done for many years has made of this Reintroduction Project the great success we know today. The Foundation has now to deal with new challenges and new problems, which, I am certain, it will meet with the unaltered strength, enthusiasm and unconditional help of every participant in the Project. Already last year we began to elaborate new strategies, in order to improve the coloni- sation of the Alps by Bearded Vulture, and to help surviving relict populations in Euro- pe. This work is in progress, although a definite strategy has, as yet, not been decided upon. For sure, we shall have to fight against the use of poison, which unfortunately received new impulses because of the expansion of the Wolf, and we shall have to improve moni- toring as it becomes more and more important in following formed pairs and their repro- duction, in discovering and checking on those in formation, and above all in quickly detecting possible threats. Monitoring will also have to be adapted to new requirements as with the increasing num- ber of wild born - and therefore unmarked - young, greater experience and competen- ce is needed to determine the age of birds on the basis of the different phases of their plumage. I feel confident that these new challenges will be encountered by all partners with the same passion and spirit of co-operation that was shown in the past. As from my side, I shall be at their entire disposal, whenever they need to contact the Foundation, and hope to come up to their expectations.

The first hatched on 31st of January (BG 452009006) without any problems although the embryo was in malposition. The second was still alive and developing on 23rd of January and on 2nd of February but died during hatching on the 14th of January. The single egg of BG 014 x BG 133134135 was laid on the 25th of December and removed a few hours later to an incubator. The egg was still alive and developing (checks on 23rd of January and on 2nd of February) but died short time before hatching (16th of January). BG 105161162 x BG 178 had two eggs laid on the 2nd and on 7th of January. The second proved to be infertile, the first was destroyed by the male. The pair BG 017019021 x BG 070022023 produced two eggs (29th of December and 6th of January), which hatched on 20th of February in the nest of its parents (BG 460017070) and on 27th of February in the incubator (BG 462017070). Both pulli hatched without any problems. BG 199 x BG 107150151 laid one egg on 29th of December, the second on 6th of January. The first hatched on 27th of February (BG 461199107), the second on 4th of March (BG 465199107). Both hat- chlings needed human help, were very weak during and after hatching, but recovered and develo- ped well. BG 108065040 x BG 175152153 had produced two eggs (8th and 14th of December), which hatched on the 30th of January (BG 451108175) and on 5th of February (BG 454108175) without any pro- blems. ¦ Remarks on pair BG 009 x BG 006. On 28th of January, female BG 006019020 limped but con- tinued to incubate. Therefore she was not removed from the facility. On 5th of February, BG 452009006 was returend from incubator and hand rearing to its parents and female BG 006 imme- diately started to warm the juvenile and to feed it. On 10th of February, the limping of BG 006 had nearly stopped and an appointment at the CLINIC OF RADIOLOGY (Vet. Med. Univ. Vienna) was chan- celled. ¦ Remarks on pair BG 014 x BG 133134135. Male BG 014 was observed „playing“ with the egg, layed a few hours before. He continued to manipulate (lifting it with the bill and dropping it back to the nest) the dummy egg up to eight days after exchanging it. Nevertheless this pair adopted and reared successsfully BG 454108175 and BG 458180274 (Liberec Zoo). BG 454 proved to be a rather calm nestling, which did not feed with much enthusiasm during the first days of life, but in the care of this foster pair it developed very well. At the beginning of October, BG 014 fell ill, had to be seperated and died on 11th of November. ¦ Remarks on pair BG 105161162 x BG 178. Although this pair was not successfully reproducing in 2005, both birds adopted and reared BG 461199107 without any problems. The exchange of the egg on 2nd of January could be done without any movement of the incubating female - the bird stay- ed in the nest and tolerated this manipulation. ¦ Remarks on pair BG 017019021 x BG 070022023. This pair adopted BG 454108175 without any problems and reared it successfully and with great routine. The female immediately started to warm the nestling after moving it into the nest. ¦ Remarks on pair BG 199 x BG 107150151. This pair reared BG 460017070 without any problems, the male immediately approached the nestling and started to warm it, the female followed short time afterwards. * Department of Pathobiology, Institute of Parasitology and Zoology, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Veterinärplatz 1, A-1210 Wien, Austria.

    PRESS PACK WINTER 2020 / 2021 savoie mont blanc Located between lakes and mountains, Savoie Mont Blanc is a beautiful area for a winter break. Savoie Mont Blanc has 110 ski resorts, including some world-famous ones such as Val d’Isère, Méribel, Courchevel, Chamonix… and many more. But there are also some smaller ones, which are not well-known by British skiers. This winter could be the ideal time to visit a smaller resort for alpine skiing and also to try some other winter sport activities, such as cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. These eco-friendly activities are the perfect way to peacefully enjoy the beautiful vistas and the pure mountain air, while coming back super-fit from your holiday. If you opt for slow travel, why not stop for a few nights before or after going to a ski resort? There are many charming hotels in the pretty towns of Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains and Annecy, as well as by the lakes and in the vineyards. In the valleys and mountains, more and more hotels and residences are eco-friendly. This sustainable trend is being taken up by restaurants too, which are offering more and more organic, local and seasonal produce. Whatever type of winter holiday you choose, Savoie Mont Blanc is the perfect place to reboot and feel re-energised once back home. Savoie Mont Blanc is easy to access by plane (airports include Chambéry, Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva) and car. Although there is no Snowtrain this winter, Savoie Mont Blanc is still easily accessible by train: take the Eurostar to Paris or Lille, then the TGV to Chambéry or Annecy (it takes less than 3 hours from Paris to Chambéry and less than 4 hours for Annecy).

In 2004 over a hun- dred Bearded Vultures are populating the Alps while five young successfully hatched in the wild and the trend is upwards. In this year also the newly developed strategy for the future was presented at FCBV‘s Annual Information Meeting in Haute Savoie. In future, efforts will be directed at linking the now present Alpine population with the autochthonous ones of the Pyrenees and Corsica to finally arrive at a homogeneous population in Western Europe. In 2005, it will be thirty years that I attended in Vienna my first meeting on the possibi- lity of reintroducing the Bearded Vulture into the Alps starting from captive breeding. At the decisive conference in Morges in 1978, of which I had the honour to be the organi- zer, the preceding French-Swiss initiative was joined with the Austrian one, thus for- ming the basis for an undertaking encompassing the entire Alpine chain. This new pro- ject in turn received the solid support of numerous Zoological Gardens in Europe.
