More than 45 vultures poisoned in KwaZulu-Natal - So far 151 vultures have been poisoned in the Zululand region in 2022
Forty-seven white-backed vultures and five tawny eagles have been poisoned in the Zululand region of KwaZulu-Natal in another mass killing apparently for the traditional medicine market.
Anel Olivier, the vulture conservation programme manager at Wildlife ACT, said in a statement that they were “extremely saddened by the discovery of this recent mass vulture poisoning. Vultures are a vital component of our ecosystem’s functionality, yet we have seen a drastic decline of the local breeding population over the past few years due to poisoning.
Mammal and bird scientist Brent Coverdale, of the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, said the poisonings are “unsustainable and will lead to the demise of vultures within South Africa and simultaneously, devastating environmental consequences, and the loss of cultural heritage”.on the release of three rehabilitated vultures after they were poisoned.
