The Story of Stelvio
Stelvio, named after the Stelvio Pass National Park, is more than just a bird of prey – he is a symbol of success. Born on March 22, 1998, in Val Braulio, Stelvio was the first bearded vulture to be born in the park since the species was eradicated there around 100 years ago. His birth was a crucial milestone in the comprehensive reintroduction project aimed at returning these magnificent birds to their natural habitat. The Bearded Vulture: A Misunderstood Animal. Until the last century, bearded vultures were mistakenly persecuted as "lamb vultures" because they were believed to prey on livestock. In reality, bearded vultures feed almost exclusively on carrion and bones, playing an indispensable role as the "health police" of the Alps. The successful return of Stelvio and his fellow raccoons proves that conservation measures work when humans and nature cooperate. Your contribution to nature conservation: By purchasing this item, you directly support the continuation of the reintroduction project in the Stelvio National Park. Every product sold helps ensure the monitoring, protection, and research of this endangered species. Help ensure that the Bearded Vulture remains permanently native to the Alps and enriches the Alpine fauna.
