Nationalpark Hohe Tauern

A key module for protecting the birds of prey is provided by the measures for environmental education and awareness for the "Lords of the Skies". One priority is the ongoing support for the volunteer observer network as well as special target groups such as hunters, mountaineers, ornithologists, etc.

You can subscribe to the "Lords of the Skies" newsletter directly on the national park website (only available in German) and will receive interesting information every quarter with the latest project news. There are regular reports about bearded, griffon and cinereous vultures as well as golden eagles in the national park magazines. Facebook and Instagram keep providing exciting and up-to-date reports and photos of the "Lords of the Skies".

The Hohe Tauern National Park participates in the annual international bird fair "Bird Experience".  Large press trips to wildlife conservation projects are conducted with regular advertising in media and targeted education and public relations measures. 

As part of the national park's educational programme, excursions to the "Valley of the Vultures" are offered, interns and bearded vulture keepers inform visitors to the national park at hotspots about the "Lords of the Skies" and the in-house exhibition about said "Lords of the Skies" rounds this module off.
