The new population of bearded vulture is expected to become self sustaining. That’s why the project has to face new tasks. On the one hand a reinforcement of a proven network of observers shall help to find the new settled pairs and professional monitoring shall guarantee detection of negative impacts to react immediately. On the other hand bridging the alpine population with other subpopulations like Pyrenees, Balkans, Sardinia and Corsica to maintain a meta-population will be an important aim in the future.

To discuss these goals and the opportunity to extend the IBM network to new partners, all interested persons are invited to the Annual Bearded Vulture meeting in Bormio/Italie, the breeding ground where about 40% of the Alpine wild born juveniles fledged.

The official language of the meeting is English. The meeting is organised by the Stelvio National Park, the Vulture Conservation Foundation, the International Bearded vulture Monitoring (IBM) and the Alpine Network of Protected Areas.
