Terra Cypria – The Cyprus Conservation Foundation was one of four partners, alongside BirdLife Cyprus, the Game and Fauna Service, and the international organization Vulture Conservation Foundation, that joined forces to provide a lifeline for the threatened Griffon Vulture through the LIFE with Vultures project. This five-year initiative (2019-2024) aimed to prevent the extinction of the Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) in Cyprus.
The project’s goal was to halt the decline of the Griffon Vulture population in Cyprus and subsequently improve its conservation status by addressing critical threats to the species. This was achieved through the involvement of key stakeholders and efforts to strengthen the local vulture population to support its recovery.
Terra Cypria focused on targeted communication with local communities and addressing the socioeconomic aspects of the project.
