Across East and Southeast Asia, primates such as macaques, orangutans, and gibbons are facing increasingly complex challenges. Protecting them requires more than one approach.
International Vulture Awareness Day
Vultures aren’t usually the first animals that come to mind when you think about wildlife conservation, but these highly specialised scavengers play an important role in the ecosystem by removing carcasses and helping to limit the spread of disease.
Despite this, vultures face serious threats across their range, including poisoning, habitat loss, persecution, and declining food availability.
Conservation isn’t only about protecting the animals we find the most appealing. Healthy ecosystems depend on species performing all kinds of roles.
