Alarming decline in vulture, hyena and lion population

Increase in the use of poisonous substances by local communities has led to a drastic fall in the population of the various species of vultures. To protect their livestock, crops and properties, communities that live nearby wildlife reserves/national parks opt to use poisoned goat/cow carcasses that had previously been killed by lions. In turn, the poisoned carcasses get consumed by vultures, hyenas, jackals, and lions. Through research and outreach efforts, Preston Mutinda Wildlife Foundation continues to work with both the local communities and wildlife authorities to help safeguard lion, vulture and hyena populations.
