The Cape Vulture is the most studied vulture species in southern Africa and yet, even after decades of conservation effort and attention placed on this endemic species, the population continues to decline. The Cape Vulture Task Force was therefore initiated in 2006 after reviewing the conservation and monitoring actions for the species (Boshoff, A.F. & Anderson, M.D. 2006.). The Task Force functions under the auspices of the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Birds of Prey Programme and its activities are coordinated by Kerri Wolter from the VulPro NPO. It's aim is to co-ordinate all conservation efforts and monitoring for the species, collate the information and drive and implement new and existing conservation strategies for the overall purpose of turning around the existing trend of decline in this species.
