• BSPB Conservation Science Workshop gathered experts on the Egyptian vulture all over the Balkans

In the period 19-24.11.2012, a Second BSPB Conservation Science Workshop (SCW2) was held in Sofia, Bulgaria. The workshop was organized in close cooperation between the LIFE+ projects “The Return of the Neophron” (LIFE10 NAT/BG/000152) and “Save the Raptors” (LIFE07 NAT/BG/000068). The CSW2 was aiming to improve the capacity for scientific papers writing in BSPB and other Balkan environmental NGOs. It also intended to gather conservationists working with the Egyptian Vulture on the Balkans and to discuss potentials for future trans-Balkan collaboration on the species research and conservation.
A total of 37 participants from 6 countries (Bulgaria, Greece, FYROM, Albania, Turkey and UK) took participation in the CSW2.
Several scientific papers on the globally threatened Egyptian Vulture and Eastern Imperial Eagle were drafted during the SCW2 and important discussions were made in terms of the threats and conservation of the Egyptian vulture on Balkan level.
We are particularly grateful for the assistance given by the CSW2 lecturers kindly provided by RSPB.
