The decline of Endangered Egyptian Vultures in eastern Europe has been arrested by tackling threats along its migration route over three continents. Numbers fell from more than 600 pairs in the 1980s to around 50 pairs in 2016, but an ambitious collaborative project tackling poisoning, electrocution, collision, persecution and other dangers in 14 countries along the flyway has stabilised the population since 2018.
