Today, bloggers from all over the world are spreading the love for vultures, by participating in the IVAD09 virtual event.
All participants of IVAD09 aim to raise awareness about the important role vultures play in our environment and the alarming problems vultures are facing today. Birdlife.org posted: ‘The world needs to learn to love vultures – or lose them‘.
Lets make that happen!

The Birds of Prey Working Group of EWT in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England are proud to host the first International Vulture Awareness Day. Organisations in Africa, Europe, the Americas and South-Asia are celebrating this day with a variety of events worldwide.
Vulture Awareness Day aims to create greater awareness of vultures and to highlight the important work done by the world’s vulture conservationists. Each participating organisation will organise activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness.
Apart from the events that will take place worldwide, the public will be able to participate in a virtual event. Join our worldwide virtual event by sharing your favourite vulture memory with us. Create a momento for Vulture Awareness Day or tell us your story, send us a photo or a video.
