The mythical winged giant of the Alps: the Bearded Vulture. Only 30 years after the start of the reintroduction programme, men and women struggle to keep this emblematic species alive and at home in the Alps. Thanks to the cooperation of many mountain parks, and the respect of local inhabitants, this "bird of fire" is regaining its territory. Each birth is a step closer to survival for this fragile and endangered species. This is their story, and the quest of the men and women who have dedicated their lives to the cause of the Bearded Vulture.
