This volunteer project is dedicated to locally reintroduce the Bearded Vulture in the protected area of Hohe Tauern National Park.
The Bearded Vulture is a bird of prey and the only member of the genus Gypaetus. Traditionally considered an Old World vulture, it lives and breeds on crags in high mountains above timberline.
