VulPro, a non-profit conservation and rehabilitation group based near Pretoria, is teaming up with a private game reserve to protect these fascinating birds.
Vultures stalk death, and death stalks vultures. Think about the scavenger bird and images of disease and decay soon follow. The birds have a bad reputation – unjustifiably so, say conservationists, who argue vultures are one of nature’s great recyclers, and one of the most misunderstood creatures.
A study published earlier this year on African savannah raptors, which include vultures, found “large raptors had experienced significantly steeper declines than smaller species,” and that declines were steepest in West Africa, and “more than twice as severe outside of protected areas.” VulPro is intent on increasing the viability of multiple vulture species.
