Video of the day: Vulture Whisperer….Today only 2900 breeding pairs of the Cape Vulture remain worldwide
Posted in African Wildlife, Uncategorized with tags Africa, animal blog, animal blogs, Animal Rights, Animal Trafficking, Anti Poaching, Cape Vulture, Conservation, Endangered Species, Environment, green planet, habitat loss, Illegal Animal Trade, illegal hunting, muti trad, Nature, South Africa, stop poaching, urbanization, vulture, vulture advocate, vulture whisperer, vultures, wildlife conservation, wildlife conservation blog on August 23, 2011 by Dori G Meet an extraordinary lady, Kerri Wolters, somewhat of a “vulture whisperer” is a determined presence in the conservation world. Her ability to connect with and handle these birds as well as, to conduct wild captures, puts Kerri among the very few who recognize and advocate the vital role vultures play within society. Kerri takes us on a Path into the Future exploring not only threats on vulture survival, such as the muti trade and urbanization but the wealth of knowledge and freedom that these birds can pass on to the human race. Taking a unique opportunity to para-glide, Kerri goes beyond the confines of the vulture enclosure and gains a perspective of life through the eyes and wings of the birds. Gliding with these misunderstood creatures Kerri’s eyes are further opened to the amount of beauty and wonder the modern world misses out on, she invites us as individuals to experience nature and thus gain an understanding of why this planet so deserves our protection. Today only 2900 breeding pairs of the Cape Vulture remain worldwide. To learn more about this extraordinary bird and the efforts to keep these pairs alive pls visit www.vultureconservation.co.za
