International Vulture Awareness Day

IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO PARTICIPATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Last year I went on and on about the International Vulture Awareness campaign. I would like to think I contributed in a small way to the number of participants taking place. The plight of wild vultures is still not fully recognised by people. They need to know. All zoos are meant to educate. Any zoo which keeps vultures/condors is duty bound to take part in making their visitors aware. Vulture Awareness Day is just a couple of weeks away. Please take part this year....IT IS NOT GOING TO COST YOU ANYTHING..... please click on the link HERE. Then click on a name in the list and see what others are doing. Please sign up now, on line and do your part. If you are a good zoo, you will. So far this year there are only 50 participants!!!!!!! (and that includes me) Which is considerably less than last year. Very few zoos on board which I think is very sad. You don't even have to have vultures....but you can make people aware. Look at what the Phoenix Zoo is doing. Check out Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, etc etc
So easy, just five minutes of your time:
1.Click on link
2.Click on a few internal links and see what others are doing.
3.Decide what you are going to do
4.Sign up. Remember it is free.
5.Participate on September 4th and/or on other days at your convenience.
Good luck.

As of the 25th August. The list below show the whole worlds participants in this very important campaign. Is your zoo listed there? If not, why not? I mean really Why Not? If you have vultures or condors then it should be. It must be. Where are the holders, the breeders?
