The focus of International Vulture Awareness Weekend is to highlight the ecological importance of vultures and why we need to save them. Our awareness day offers many educational opportunities as well as hands on activities.
Support an important cause as we highlight: vulture adaptations, the benefits of vultures to our eco-systems, tracking, and what the public can do to help this vital species. There will be vulture enrichment, animal meet and greets, an additional talk with our white-headed vulture keeper, and a chance to learn how to track and monitor birds using telemetry.
Six of Africa’s 11 vulture species – the continent’s largest and most recognizable birds of prey – are now at a higher risk of extinction. Join us September 1st and 2nd to help the Toronto Zoo save a protect vultures.
