• From Dadia to Polyarno for the sake of Egyptian Vulture

At the last weekend of March the WWF Greece together with the Hellenic Ornithological Society were invited by Mountaineering Club of Kavala to Polyarno in order to present the ornithological significance of Kompsato valley area. The area belongs to Natura 2000 Network (Kompsato valley SPA GR1130012 και pSCI GR1130007). Beside a local population of griffon vulture and black vulture which quite often visit this area, there are 2 nests of Egyptian vulture. The WWF Greece presented the status of the Egyptian vulture population in Greece and informed about the LIFE+ project “The return of the Neophron” funded by the European Commission and co-financed by the “A.G. Leventis” foundation. We stressed the importance of this area for the Egyptian vulture, consequently several conservation actions will be implemented there through out Life+ project.
