AWARENESS FOR VULTURES:

Amongst the numerous threats facing vultures, high lead levels in Vulture populations have recently been documented across most of Southern Africa.

Lead is a toxic heavy metal, and lead poisoning, though known for some time to severely impact human health, has largely been overlooked in Vultures. Now, studies are increasingly reporting that lead exposure is contributing to Vulture populations’ mortality rates.

Research has shown that the primary known cause for wild Vultures being exposed to lead is through the ingestion from carcasses that have been contaminated by lead-based ammunition.

Birds with lead poisoning may exhibit loss of balance, gasping, tremors and an impaired ability to fly. Long-term exposure can have further dire effects. Emaciation follows, and death can occur.

Given that vulture populations are rapidly declining in the face of a wide array of threats, it is essential to mitigate against any additional sources of mortality or reduced performance, including exposure to lead.
