Endangered life-saving vultures to be bred in Wales

 

A falconry centre in mid Wales is hoping to breed life-saving rare African hooded vultures to help save them from extinction.

 

Hooded vultures, like other vulture species across Africa and Asia, are critically endangered, with fewer than 150,000 left in the wild.

 

In India, a decline in vultures is believed to have contributed to the deaths of half a million people because they clear up the carcasses of dead animals, helping to stop the spread of disease.

Phew - this is very commendable.

 

I have often felt that something should be done to reduce those rotting carcasses lying all around Wales.
