Three griffon vultures that were successfully rehabilitated were released in Sardinia in the framework of the LIFE project "LIFE Under Griffon Wings - Implementation of best practices to rescue griffon vultures in Sardinia". The vultures, were named Helmar, Jana and Tempestosa by the project team and the school kids of Bosa, were rehabilitated in the Bonassai rescue centre run by the Sardinian Forestry agency.
 
Before their release, Helmar Jana and Tempestosa were tagged with satellite transmitters, to acquire data on their movements. This and further tagging operation should enable the project team to determine the home range of the griffon vultures, their wintering areas (especially those of the juveniles) and their survival rates. The data of the satellite tags should also provide data on any eventual emigration towards the mainland. Thanks to Vulture Conservation Foundation, Franziska Lorcher and Daniel Hegglin, for the presence and the collaboration.
