An injured griffon vulture has a second chance at Terra Natura Murcia. The bird, which has lost sight in one eye, arrived from the Santa Faz Wildlife Recovery Centre in Alicante after an injury left it unable to survive in the wild. It will join seven griffon vultures in the park’s bird enclosure, after a veterinary health check.

Terra Natura Murcia works closely with wildlife recovery centres across the region. The partnership focuses on rescuing animals that cannot return to their natural habitat and on educating visitors about conservation. Park director Gustavo Martínez says such collaborations are essential to giving animals a second chance and to ensuring they live in the best possible conditions. Councillor José Guillén adds that working together brings Murcia closer to protecting the environment and its wildlife heritage.

Beyond its rescue work, Terra Natura Murcia promotes its Zooinmersión concept, recreating habitats to give visitors a sense of being with the wildlife. The park covers more than 165,000 square metres and contains over 500 animals from fifty species, including Iberian lynx, brown bears and a variety of birds. The falconry zone offers displays that showcase the peregrine falcon and other birds of prey, helping visitors engage with conservation in a direct way.
