Résumé :	The trend of vulture populations decline in Europe in the last century resulted with the narrowing of the distribution range. Among the last strongholds were vulture populationson the Balkan Peninsula. Vulture populations in Macedonia were not extinct, but survived on the level of stabile populations or below the critical minimum. It is obvious that the decline is existing trend in nowadays. The reason for the vulture populations decline is mainly anthropogenic influence and non-existence of active system for their protection. During our research we have identified several negative factors that influenced the vulture populations. These threats are more or less the same for other regions in Europe. Slow industrial and traffic infrastructure development as well as maintaining traditional farming practices to some extent and extensive tourism were factors that resulted with preservation of wildlife in general and vulture populations at some sites. According to the recent estimations there are about 40-48 pairs of Griffon Vulture, 60-85 pairs of Egyptian Vulture in Macedonia. The situation of Black and Bearded Vulture is far more critical and the existence of breeding pairs have not been confirmed recently. Factors that vultures faced and resulted with their number decline were especially intensive after the World War II. Most of them led to the total disappearance of vultures in some regions and significant number decline in other regions. In continuation we give overview of the identified threats as reasons for the decline with the known cases. Data on these cases were derived from literature sources and rarely by interviews with experts that could provide some data as well as local inhabitants (farmers, shepherds, hunters etc.). The threats were analyzed for each species separately and their importance was assessed. The assessment performed is based only on accessible data and thus can not provide complete coverage of the situation. However, the conclusions can be used as a suitable base for the preparation of conservation plans of vultures in Macedonia and will be helpful in the preparation of the National Action Plan of Recovery and Conservation of Vultures.
