Rescue Alert! On 23 October 2024, our VulPro team responded to an urgent call about two vultures being held illegally in Mafikeng, with imminent plans to sell them—likely for belief-based practices. Thanks to our swift intervention in partnership with the NSPCA, we successfully rescued both birds: A fledgling African White-backed Vulture, promptly secured and brought to safety. An adult African White-backed Vulture, found bound and hidden inside a bag on the back of a donkey cart. Both birds were saved just in time from a potentially tragic fate. Upon rescue, they were found severely dehydrated and lethargic, requiring immediate care from our dedicated team. Sadly, the fledgling is also suffering from lead toxicity, adding further challenges to its recovery. This incident is a stark reminder of the relentless threats vultures face. At VulPro, we remain committed to protecting these vital species and securing their future. #VulPro #EndangeredSpecies #VultureConservation #WildlifeRescue #NSPCA #ProtectWildlife #Africa

The African Penguin has been uplisted to Critically Endangered by the IUCN, with breeding pairs now under 10,000. With a shocking 97% population decline, these beloved seabirds face extinction in less than 4,000 days without urgent action. What is driving the decline? Faced with numerous threats, a primary cause of the African Penguin’s decline is a lack of available food due to climate change, made worse by competition from commercial fishing around its breeding colonies, which impacts the species’ survival and breeding success. While there are existing no-take zones where commercial fishing is prohibited to help the penguins better access the fish they feed on, primarily sardines and anchovies, research by seabird scientists has demonstrated that these zones are currently inadequate for penguin conservation. Nicky Stander, Head of Conservation, SANCCOB said “Seeing a 97% loss in African Penguin populations is devastating and knowing they are now officially ‘Critically Endangered’ is a sobering thought. In just over a decade, they could no longer exist, which not only has an impact on our marine ecosystem, but also on South Africa’s economy and ecotourism. These animals are a key indicator of the wider ecological health of our ocean and are beloved worldwide. We cannot wait any longer for change.” Natalie Maskell, CEO, SANCCOB said “The IUCN uplisting to Critically Endangered means that the African Penguins are just one step away from becoming extinct in the wild. SANCCOB will continue to fight for the future of this iconic species; we must remain optimistic that their trajectory can be reversed." To help protect this iconic species: ??

It's #WolfAwarenessWeek and if you've been following us for a while, you know we've been fiercely fighting for years to protect America's wolves. We’re working on multiple fronts to ensure a real future for this iconic species: ?? Working to bring federal protections to all wolves, including in the northern Rocky Mountains. ?? Fighting state-by-state against plans to hunt, trap and poison wolves. ??Expanding and activating a powerful grassroots network to speak out for wolves across the country. These majestic animals occupy less than 15% of their historic habitat and, if they’re ever going to fully recover, they must be protected from coast-to-coast.
