A meeting between Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds and Green Balkans Organization was held at the end of May (21-25.05.2013) to discuss their cooperation in the conservation of some of the rarest birds of prey in the country: Imperial Eagle, Lesser Kestrel, Griffon, Black and Egyptian vultures. Representatives of the ongoing LIFE + projects "Conservation of Imperial Eagle and Saker Falcon in key Natura 2000 sites in Bulgaria" (LIFE07 NAT/BG/000068), "Vultures Return in Bulgaria" (LIFE08 NAT/BG/000278), "The Return of the Neophron" (LIFE10 NAT/BG/000152), "Lesser Kestrel recovery” NAT/BG/000360) presented their work in front of their colleagues. The conservation measures, regarding which the environmental organizations have decided to coordinate their work, are: exchanging information on the target species, power poles correction, fighting bird poisoning, artificial feeding, working with local communities and institutions. Special attention was paid to the implementation of agri-environment activities, in particular the ongoing agri-environment measure for maintaining the pastures in good ecological condition. The subject was discussed in the presence of local farmers who apply for participation in the measure.
