:t:
If you have seen or wish to see these majestic creatures on Crete or in Europe,you can really help NOW. Crete has Griffon Vultures (a few hundred), Bearded Vultures (maybe five breeding pairs left and possibly 10 immatures), Black Vultures (2) and migrant Egyptian Vultures.

Egyptian Vultures breed in the Balkans and are now very few with only a handful of breeding on mainland Greece, Albania, Romania and Bulgaria.

The Crete population of Griffon Vulture is helping to re-establish the species on Cyprus.

India lost 90% of its tens of thousands of vultures because of this drug. please sign and not let this happen in Europe....

Many thanks

ColD

The consequences are well known and this is a caring community, even if it often appears cannibalistic.
