Feel free to help us in our Giving Back quest to support our charity of choice – Vulpro. Vulpro is spearheading numerous vulture and large raptor conservation projects across Southern Africa.
Vulpro`s mission: Our mission at VulPro is to protect African vultures through collaboration and innovation.
Vultures face a number of threats, including but not limited to direct and indirect poisoning, habitat loss and fragmentation, habitat degradation, electrocution and collisions with power lines and other infrastructure (wind turbines), as well as reduced availability of natural food sources and direct persecution as well as the illegal harvesting and trade of vultures for belief-based purposes.
Some vulture species are threatened with extinction within our lifetime and unless we can halt these declines and mitigate and stop these persistent threats, the consequences of losing our vultures will be catastrophic and far reaching.
Some species have declined by over 95% in the last 30 years.
At VulPro, we are working towards preventing the extinction of African Vultures through:
VULPRO REHABILITATION
VulPro collects injured vultures from all over South Africa.
VULPRO RESEARCH & EDUCATION
Education is an important tool, we interact and communicate with farmers, landowners and communities.
VULPRO CAPTIVE BREEDING PROGRAMME
VulPro has spearheaded ex-situ conservation breeding of African Vulture species.
