NOMADS

Описание: In Greece, groups of pastoral nomads have been known to move their herds by foot from the plains in the winter to the mountains in the summer since the Middle Ages.

But not only humans are nomads… The country's last Egyptian vultures are giving their own fight for survival, travelling more than 5,000 km from Africa every year to reach their breeding grounds next to the pastoral communities of Greece.

Nowadays, less than 3,000 transhumant herds remain in the Greek countryside and only five Egyptian vulture breeding pairs. Bonded with the same fate, the fragile future of these two nomads demands our immediate action before it’s too late…
