High above the Adriatic, griffon vultures nest on sheer limestone sea cliffs—their only sea-based nesting habitat on Earth. Expedition Leader Monika Mikulec shares the story of this unique population on the island of Cres, featured on our Croatia & Slovenia Nature Discovery adventure. Once threatened by habitat loss and other human impacts, their numbers declined sharply. Today, community-supported conservation has helped stabilize the population. Discover how this recovery highlights the vultures’ vital ecological role—and how responsible tourism supports their future.
