According to data from Fundació Trenca and Endesa, the colony now consists of 66 specimens. This represents the successful recovery of a species that vanished from the region in the late 19th century. The breeding success rate hit 71% this season, significantly higher than the average of the last 15 years.

Out of 19 breeding pairs, 13 chicks were born and 12 reached the flying stage. Researchers have tagged all individuals and equipped three with GPS trackers to study their migration patterns. The project aims to link Iberian and Central European populations to ensure genetic diversity.

The initiative, supported by the Government of Catalonia, relies on Supplementary Feeding Points (PAS). Over 15,000 kilograms of carrion were provided last year, which also resulted in a reduction of 4,301 kilograms of CO2 emissions by avoiding industrial incineration of animal remains.
