💨 Abstract

In Kruger National Park, South Africa, at least 123 vultures died and 83 were rescued after consuming a poisoned elephant carcass. The elephant was killed by poachers using agricultural pesticides. This incident highlights the vulnerability of vultures, crucial for ecosystems, to poisoning. It is part of a broader crisis in southern Africa where poachers increasingly use toxins.
