Conservation Conversations: Lead poisoning in South Africa’s Vultures– Linda vd Heever (25Oct22)

On Tuesday, 25 October 2022 at 19:00 (SAST), BirdLife South Africa's weekly webinar series ‘Conservation Conversations with BirdLife South Africa’ hosted Linda van den Heever. Lead ammunition is widely used in South Africa’s wildlife economy, not only for hunting, but also for culling and game management purposes. Unfortunately its continued use is coming at huge cost to our embattled vulture populations, with Cape and White-backed Vulture chicks fledging with significant body burdens of lead. Join Linda van den Heever (Vulture Project Manager) as she shares the cutting-edged research BirdLife South Africa used, not only to pinpoint the source of lead poisoning in vulture chicks, but also to illustrate how lead is compromising the health of newly-fledged juveniles.
