Time is running out for the most endangered group of birds on the planet – the vultures. With threats including persecution and poaching, over 70% of the world’s 23 vulture species are facing extinction. But vultures, often referred to as nature’s clean-up crew, are critical to sustaining healthy environments by controlling disease. We must fight desperately to save these maligned birds, starting with changing people’s minds (and hearts) about them.
Emma is a bird of prey specialist with a particular interest in vultures, and a field worker with a research focus on Cumbrian raptor species, such as barn owls. She currently works as Head of Birds at Muncaster Hawk & Owl Centre, based in the Lake District National Park. They are a small but passionate organisation committed to raptor conservation both locally and internationally, alongside work educating the general public with our high impact bird of prey flying displays.
