"Les Ailes de l'Urga" aims to raise awareness among visitors of all ages about the conservation of these birds of prey through its performances. For the past 10 years, the organization has been working closely with scientists from various institutions to conduct research on these species. The website: ailes-urga.com/recherches.html lists the research conducted to date. 52% of raptor species are experiencing a sharp decline in population. Among these species, vultures are declining the most.

“Given the sharp decline of certain species in the wild and their changed IUCN status, it is essential to maintain captive populations with sufficient genetic diversity. We have recently formed breeding pairs of species of high conservation interest (2 pairs of hooded vultures, 2 pairs of saker falcons, and 1 pair of southern caracaras). Since no conservation programs currently exist for these species, we consider it essential to begin breeding them now with a view toward future programs. These pairs join the list of our species that are already breeding (Harris’s hawks, Lanner falcons, Siberian eagle-owls, African eagle-owls, Ural owls, and barn owls)."
