Yes, it’s that time of year again when we turn our minds to vultures. Why? Vultures are natural scavengers so they play an important hygienic role in cleaning up ecosystems, reducing the risk of spread of disease.
IVAD, the Endangered Wildlife Trust (South Africa) and the Hawk Conservancy Trust (England) are working together to raise awareness of the need for the conservation of vultures. Click on the Hawk Conservancy Trust (England) link to see photos of their two White-Backed and one Hooded vulture chicks.
