Vultures on the Verge of Extinction

Vultures on the Verge of Extinction



Five of the six species of vultures in Nigeria have been wiped out, according to a scholar.

True to the scholar’s finding, only dead Vultures are now found in places where they once flourished.

Meanwhile, there are just a few programmes that currently address the drop in the population.

A colleague drew my attention to this interesting article written by Tadaferua Ujorha in Nigeria and Liberia.

Vultures on the Verge of Extinction
Undoubtedly the most aggressive and powerful African vultures, other vultures will usually cede a carcass to the Lappet-faced Vulture because of its strength, size, and ability to tear through tough hide and muscle – almost like a hyena. They can be found at Satara, Parfuri, and Punda Maria.
