On May 17, 2025, the first release of Bearded Vultures into the Bulgarian nature will take place. The event is part of the "Life for the Bearded Vulture" (LIFE22-NAT-BG-Bearded Vulture LIFE-101113869) project and is the first of its kind, not only within the project, but also in the history of nature conservation in Bulgaria.
The official part and the welcoming of the birds will take place from 12:00 on the stage of Tuida Fortress, Sliven.
More about the work of the international team on the project, which envisages the return of the bearded vulture to Bulgaria and the Balkan Peninsula, as well as supporting the successfully restored population of the black vulture, can be found here.
