Taking action for vulture awareness in 2023<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

International Vulture Awareness Day stands as a powerful initiative to raise awareness and take action for vulture conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vultures, known as nature’s cleanup crew, efficiently dispose of carcasses, silently providing a vital service that contributes to the maintenance of healthy ecosystems. However, human-induced threats like poisoning and electrocution are attributing to alarming declines in some vulture populations. We cannot allow these important birds to vanish from our skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF) actively supports our partners’ IVAD activities and promotions while hosting our own online events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
