Everything we do at the Horstmann Trust is designed to benefit vultures either directly or indirectly. We believe effective conservation requires teamwork across a range of disciplines. So, we’re fostering a network of committed individuals and organisations to share learnings and tackle problems together.

Our main conservation focuses on our collection of birds and their breeding programmes. We work with our partners and other organisations to support wild populations and reintroduction initiatives.

We are dedicated to producing useful and meaningful research from our facility in Carmarthenshire. The privileged access we have to our birds allows us to gain unique insights into some of the less understood aspects of vulture life and behaviour. The aim is help protect wild vultures from further losses and to promote the recovery in their populations.

Our expert team has a wealth of experience breeding vultures in captivity. Our breeding programmes allow us extraordinary insight into vulture reproduction and we share our findings with the conservation community.

We believe our knowledge and experience should be available to all and therefore, provide courses and training opportunities for people to develop their skills and learning.
