Findings from BirdLife International BirdLife Zimbabwe state that the demand for vultures in traditional medicine is a major threat, with up to 29% of recorded vulture deaths in Africa linked to belief-based use. Some species have declined by over 90% in the last 50 years.

Vultures, facing extinction, provide $1.8 BILLION in ecosystem services annually across #southernAfrica, a new study reveals. These critical scavengers curb disease spread & sustain ecosystems. Yet, poisoning & habitat loss threaten their survival. #Conservation #VulturesMatter

Vultures play a critical role in our ecosystems by preventing the spread of diseases. Without them, carcasses rot, leading to an increase in pests and deadly pathogens that threaten human and animal health. 📢 Raise awareness. Take action. #SaveAfricasVultures
