10 Black Vulture conservation in France The FIR (now LPO) and the BVCF have started the reintroduction programmes in France in Grands Causses in A first National Restoration Plan was settled in 2004 with the French authorities for 5 years. Beginning of the releases in the Alps. A new National Action Plan (PNA) for the Black vulture was established in 2011 for 5 years. 27th February

11 Black Vulture conservation in France This PNA fixed 5 main goals : 1. Preservation of nesting sites and habitats 2. Reduction of human threats 3. Maintain and improve food resources and availability 4. Improve scientific knowledge, communication and international partnership 5. Extension of the Black vulture repartition and populations links 27th February

12 Objective 1 Preservation of nesting sites and habitats 27th February

13 Objective 1 Preservation of nesting sites and habitats Survey of nesting sites Record of disturbances Development of conventions with local stakeholders: Foresters, outdoor sports, army, hunters, farmers, photographers 27th February

14 Main disturbance threats 27th February

15 Objective 2 Reduce human threats Poisoning : a new preoccupation in France Power lines : heterogeneous situation Shooting 27th February

16 Poisoning and intoxication Carbofuran is the main cause Wolf s return worries farmers Need for international cooperation 27th February

17 Threats due to power transport and production 27th February

18 Objective 3 Improve food availability First, you type «Grands Causses», then «satellite overview», then choose «sheep» and at last, you click on «lately deceased» 27th February

19 27th February 2014 Objective 3 Improve food availability The «placettes» (farmer s feeding stations) 86 placettes (9V, 5B, 81 C) Use of camera traps The heavy feeding stations (HFP) 4 HFP, 198 farmers collected (76V, 100B, 22C + Vercors) ~ 5800 collected carrions Allows us to capture, read ring codes, communicate and monitor Study on the rate of wild fauna s carrions in black vulture food range 20

20 Exemple: the Grands Causses Heavy feeding stations Light feeding stations 27th February

21 How «placettes» work? This allows farmers to use Vulture to get rid of farm carrions Farmer has an official authorization He manages his time No more than 300 kg at the same time Taxes reduction of 60 % Record on a file Clean the placette by burning bones and Reduce sanitary risks Reduce CO 2 emissions and transport costs 27th February

22 Placette s technical description A station of minimum 1000 m 2 (30 m x 30 m) Dominant and open position Good aerologie A fence (grid of 90 cm high mini ) A mean to attach carrions The farmer build the «placette» 27th February

42 Objective 5 Extension of the Black vulture repartition and populations links Main objectives Participate to the reconstitution of the historic range of the 4 Vultures Develop exchanges between populations Releasing at least 50 individuals in each sites ( & Verdon) Finalise these two ongoing programs as soon as possible 27th February

43 Objective 4 Extension of the Black vulture repartition and populations links Cage technique: Rehabilitation Centers (Spain) Hacking technique: Birds born in captivity (Breeding Centers, European Zoos ) Black Vultures releasing technique 27th February

44 Hacking place in the 27th February

45 Objective 4 Extension of the Black vulture repartition and populations links : 0 released birds in 2013 Total of 36 released birds on that site (4 in aviaries) Verdon : 2 released birds in 2013 Total of 23 released birds on that site (3 in aviaries and 1 to be collected) GPS transmitters project 27th February

46 = 66 BV for Alpine projects Zoos = 21 Rehabilitation centers = 45 27th February

51 Exchanges between France and Spain 27th February

52 Alpine Population size in 2014 : +/- 40 individuals Verdon : 8 to 10 in Verdon : 25 to 30 in 27th February

53 Requirements to continue the releases The programs need to be finalised. It s necessary to continue the releases to succeed! How many birds are needed? a minimum of 24 in Verdon 10 in Ideally, we would be interested to collect for release this amount of bird within 3 years However, for Verdon we would like to wait for the settlement of at least 4 to 5 reproducing pairs before we stop the releases... 27th February

54 Black vulture reintroduction's projects in France - Potential new projects 27th February

55 Potential new projects Possible project in Vercors Not wished for the moment Too close to? Possible project between Grands Causses and Catalonia LPO Aude could be interested if the European partners identify this need... Conclusion : no other solid projects actually Alpine projects are the actual priority 27th February

56 Thanks to all our European partners... Spanish ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAGRAMA) Autonomous communities (Extremadura, Andalucía, Cantabria...) Spanish rehabilitation centres European zoos Vulture Conservation Foundation BVCF... 27th February
