EGVWG (East European/Mediterranean Griffon Vulture Working Group)
In 2000 the EGVWG was established in order to prevent the final extinction of the Griffons in Central and East Europe. The former small and select circle of specialists has now developed into a Europe-wide network of Griffon vulture experts. The EGVWG collects data on the existing populations and the respective threats to these in Europe. This pooled data provides a central database for the international conservation efforts in this species. Even though little is known about the flight movements of the Griffon vultures, sightings of ringed birds have proven an existing interchange between Croatia, Italy and Austria.
