In recent years, there has been a series of incidents in Africa in which vultures have been poisoned in large numbers. This is because poachers apply poison to the carcasses of the animals in order to avoid the discovery of poaching sites where vultures gather.
There have also been cases where large numbers of vultures have been deliberately  poisoned for the purpose of using parts of their bodies for traditional medicine. ​​​​​​​ Furthermore, when the mass killing of vultures occurs during their breeding season, the situation worsens. Hundreds of orphaned chicks left in the nests die because they cannot get food.
The number of vultures in Africa has decreased by about 60% over the past 30 years. And they are still declining, and are in danger of extinction.
Let us consider what we can do to protect the vultures!

1: Support vulture conservation groups:
There are non-profit organizations around the world that are working to protect vultures by raising awareness of their danger. Let's support these organizations and help them in their efforts to protect vultures. Donations to these organizations and following them on social networking accounts are also actions that can help protect vultures.


2: Share information about vultures:
Tell your friends and family about the important role of vultures and their endangered status. By sharing information with everyone, you can increase the number of people who protect vultures.
Spreading the word through social networking services and video streaming is also an effective way to do so.

3: No Poison:
The spread of poisons has a negative impact on the natural world and the food chain. The carcasses of poisoned animals are also poisonous to the creatures that eat them. Never allow poisons to enter the natural food chain.

4: Work with others:
Although each person's power may be small, when people work together, they can be a great force in protecting vultures. Actively join with others around the world who are protecting vultures.


Protecting vultures and keeping the natural world clean is good for our health. For the sake of everyone living on earth, we must never let the vultures perish.​​​​​​​
