ImageIn the coming year be released first bearded vulture in the northern Swiss Alps. To the impressive returned once extinct in the alpine area of bone-eaters is another piece of his old home. A first reintroduction will take place in early summer 2010, in St. Gallic Calfeisental in a federal wildlife refuge, instead of . Over the next 10 to 15 years, a new Population builds on and improve the genetic base of wild bearded vulture population.

 Also in the northern Alps will soon crack the bones. This is due to the bearded vulture, which will be released starting next year in this region. An impressive scavengers who prefer bones from dead animals and eating them for the purpose of crushing big mouthful height can fall on scree slopes, was originally at home in Switzerland and in the beginning of the 20th century wiped out in the Alps. 


Since 1987, ausgewildert in the Alps 160 young bearded vulture, 26 of them in the Swiss National Park. Thanks to the reintroduction in the meantime have first population nuclei, as in the Engadine area, and in Haute-Savoie and the adjacent Wallis formed. However, a recent analysis shows is the genetic basis of the wild population still too small.


The Foundation aims to counteract the pro Bartgeier now with reintroductions in the Swiss Alps and northern promote laminar colonization of the former distribution area. The intact wild stocks and the good thermal conditions in the federal ban horns of gray area offer the best living conditions for the bearded vulture. Here, in St. Gallic Calfeisental, first time in 2010 to the early summer of young bearded vulture in the northern Swiss Alps are wild.
