Watch vultures be released back into the wild

In July, a group of conservationists gathered on a South African mountaintop, wind whipping through their hair. Five wooden crates holding vultures sat at their feet. South African nonprofit Vulpro had rescued the birds, and now they would be heading back into the wild in the hopes of rebounding Africa’s dwindling vulture population. These five birds faced many of the threats vultures encounter when trying to survive in the wild. Two were smuggled to be used in traditional medicine before conservation and welfare officials intercepted their trade. Poachers had plucked all the wing feathers off one of them. It would take almost a year for her to become healthy enough to return to the wild. Two birds were found with major injuries. The last bird was rescued while waterlogged in a waterway, unable to fly.
