This nesting bearded vulture was spotted by rangers in the Caucasus Wildlife Refuge.

that picture of the vulture in its nest in that rock formation is quite incredible. almost appears unreal.
It’s encouraging to see funding going towards conservation and environmental issues. This can only enrichen Armenian society and demonstrates an attitude and thinking beyond immediate needs.
Do you have any update information on the Gyumri :”zoo” 3 Lions that were transferred to the Caucasus
Wildlife Refuge ?? This was a “Go Fund Me” campaign to rescue and relocate the Lions.
Also there is a very sad situation in Yemen – starving animals left abandoned due to the unrest.

Nice. Would love to see these made and used more in Armenia.
