Time is running out for the most endangered group of birds on the planet – the vultures. With threats including persecution and poaching, over 70% of the world’s 23 vulture species are facing extinction. But vultures, often referred to as nature’s clean-up crew, are critical to sustaining healthy environments by controlling disease. We must fight desperately to save these maligned birds, starting with changing people’s minds (and hearts) about them.
