Title:
Tagging vultures can reveal carcass poisoning and prevent mass mortalities in endangered vulture species
Author(s):
Zwilling J
Publication Year:
2025
Abstract:

Mortalities at poisoned carcasses significantly contribute to the population decline of many vulture species. As vultures employ social strategies and follow each other in their search for food, one poisoned carcass can kill hundreds of individuals of endangered species such as the white-backed vulture.
