MORE THAN TWO MONTHS OF RECOVERY AT LA ALFRANCA
The bird spent just over two months at the La Alfranca Wildlife Recovery Center, where it received the care needed to overcome its malnutrition. In recent weeks, efforts have focused on flight exercise and training to ensure it could move normally from the moment of its release.
BACK NEAR THE NEST WHERE IT WAS BORN
Esco comes from a breeding unit shared by Aragon and the Regional Community of Navarre, so its development was jointly monitored by APN officers and Navarre's rangers before it was rescued. It was released near the nest where it was born, close to the area where its parents continue to be observed.
WHEN INTERVENTION IS NECESSARY
The presence of bearded vulture chicks on the ground during their first flights can be normal and, under normal conditions, their parents continue feeding them even when they are outside the nest. For this reason, intervention is only necessary when the animal faces a risk or a situation requiring attention is detected.
The release was attended by Director General of Natural Environment Óscar Fayanás, technicians from the Biodiversity Service, Nature Protection Agents and representatives of the rangers from the Provincial Council of Navarre.
BEARDED VULTURE CONSERVATION IN ARAGON
The operation is part of the Aragon Government's commitment to active biodiversity conservation, based on monitoring species, intervening when necessary and the work of professionals in the field. The recovery and return to the wild of birds such as this one help preserve Aragon's natural heritage and ensure the conservation of emblematic species through management aimed at maintaining a living and cared-for landscape.
