Ways of the Elimination of Factors Negatively Affecting the Population of Griffon Vultures (Gyps Fulvus) in the Azerbaijan Territory

The impact of anthropogenic factors directly and indirectly affecting this species population structure was studied. It was found that anthropogenic factors resulted in the shrinkage of the food supply for griffon vultures. Worsening trophic conditions caused decreases of individuals and breeding pairs in the population as well as emigration. With the purpose of improving trophic conditions, which degrades the population, we organized supplementary feeding of griffon vultures in the nature. Improved food supply enabled stable quantity dynamics of griffon vultures by increasing the number of individuals and pairs engaged in breeding in the population.
