This species has been uplisted to Endangered because of threats such as habitat loss and the removal of their eggs. #hcv #endangered #conservation

There is no doubt that the vulture population in t There is no doubt that the vulture population in the Kruger Park is rapidly declining. Very few were spotted on this trip compared to the 80's and 90's when we visited the park on a regular basis. I managed to shoot this critically endangered White-headed vulture (Trigonoceps occipitalis) near Lower Sabie. Populations have been declining steeply in recent years due to loss of habitat and poisoning of vultures at carcasses.
The Hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) on the next page is less spectacular to look at but also critically endangered.
