A sustainable development so that also future generations can satisfy their needs seems necessary. We must sustain our living basis, because there is no second earth where we could fly to.

Lammergeier (Gypaetus barbatus) or Bearded Vulture is flying again since some years in the European Alps.

Stefan Jung • 12. Februar 2023

The Bearded Vulture (dt. Bartgeier) was extinct in the European Alps. Due to reintroduction attempts in Austria, Switzerland and Germany his species is back again.

The rather big bird of prey has a lean body with a long tail. The species prefers the mountainous regions of southern Europe like Spain. In the European Alps it was extinct for more than 100 years. The food contains meet and bones from dead hoofed animals like chamois (dt. Gemse). Here are some links (6 in german language, 3 in english) for further information and facts; e.g.:
