birds of prey, like Griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures, eagles, black kites and buzzards. The population of these rare species has been declining at an alarming rate in recent decades, causing serious concern to environmentalists. The main reasons are illegal hunting and the disturbance caused by mountain climbers. Visitors though will find the Antichassia- Meteora Natural Reserve an ideal area for trekking. They are, however, advised to be sensitive with the fragile ecology of the area.
