Protect Endangered Vultures in South Africa’s Southern Drakensberg.

Описание: Volunteer in a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Join our award-winning Southern Drakensberg Conservation Program and work in the spectacular Maloti-Drakensberg Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This conservation program focuses on protecting the regionally Critically Endangered Bearded Vulture and Vulnerable Cape Vulture within the region’s rugged landscapes, which provide vital nesting and feeding grounds for these rare birds.

Everything you need to know

The Southern Drakensberg Conservation Program, led by Wildlife ACT, focuses on protecting Endangered Vultures, specifically the Cape and Bearded Vultures. Work with Vulture conservation experts, assisting with nest monitoring to promote breeding success, camera trap surveys, Vulture-safe feeding site maintenance, and emergency responses to mitigate threats like poisoning and electrocution. Join a small, dedicated team of up to three volunteers to, maintain feeding sites that provide uncontaminated carcasses, reducing poisoning risks, and supporting fledgling Vultures during food shortages. Vulture-safe feeding sites or Vulture restaurants are intentionally placed to provide a safe and sustainable supplementary food source for Vultures, to help ensure their survival and contribute to the ecological balance.
