B\u00f6lge<\/a>, swiftly after. Experts suspect that a poisoning incident lies behind this tragedy, based on the birds&#8217; body postures and the fact that they were all found dead in close proximity to each other. However, specific examinations are necessary to confirm the cause of death. A team from Afyon Kocatepe University Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center (<a href=\"https:\/\/akurem.aku.edu.tr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AK\u00dcREM)<\/a> collected the carcasses and subsequently performed a post-mortem analysis. Four of the birds were females, while 3 were males. Furthermore, Associate Professor Emine Hesna Kand\u0131r, the centre&#8217;s Director, also collected samples from their stomachs, livers and kidneys, and sent them to Etlik Veterinary Control Central Research Institute in Ankara to perform proper toxicological analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, this incident caused adverse effects. The Cinereous Vulture breeding population in Turkey is estimated to comprise 80-200 pairs, meaning that this dramatic incident has probably affected between 2 to 9% of the national breeding population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF)<\/a> has already written to the Turkish authorities, offering help to further diagnose and investigate this case. It is important that authorities try to determine the driver of the poisoning incident, and if any suspects are identified, to take appropriate legal and criminal action. According to Turkish legislation, it is illegal to kill and\/or poison protected species, with the penalty rising to up to 3 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The threat of poisoning<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Poison \u2013 usually put out to kill carnivores, not vultures, who are collateral victims of this illegal practice, is the main threat to vultures worldwide, as it was clearly identified in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.int\/raptors\/en\/publication\/multi-species-action-plan-conserve-african-eurasian-vultures-vulture-msap-cms-technical\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vulture Multi-species Action Plan (Vulture MsAP<\/a>) &#8211; a global strategic blueprint identifying priorities and actions to conserve 15 species of old world vultures, endorsed by the Convention for Migratory Species and co-developed by the VCF.
