• Informing the citizens of Iasmos for the Egyptian vultures of Komsatos valley

This Sunday, the citizens of the village Iasmos gathered in the Cultural Center in order to be introduced to LIFE+ project "The return of the Neophron" by the team of WWF Greece. The presentation aimed to present the project core activities and bring closer the Egyptian vulture profile. The species status and its main threats were presented, thus the importance of the species conservation efforts were emphasized. Moreover the participants were informed about other highly significant birds of prey in the area, as there have been recorded 28 different bird of prey species like golden eagle, griffon and black vulture, white-tailed eagle, imperial eagle. At the end an interesting discussion about the Egyptian vulture and the nature conservation in general was achieved with the 25 participants. We are gratefully thanked to the Cultural Club of Iasmos for co-organizing the presentation.

Iasmos village is situated in the SPA of Kompsatos Valley. To date two pairs of the Egyptian vulture breed there, unfortunately without a productivity success this year.
