Vultures Provide $1.8 Billion In Economic Value To SADC Region, Report Finds
A landmark economic valuation report released by BirdLife Africa has revealed that vultures contribute an estimated $1.8 billion annually to the SADC region through vital ecosystem services, sparking urgent calls for governments to fund conservation programmes. The 2025 report, which follows extensive research conducted across Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, aims to quantify the often-overlooked contribution of these birds to the environment and human existence. In these three countries alone, the total economic value of ecosystem services provided by vultures is estimated at over $251 million per year

We successfully hosted a vibrant Stakeholder Awareness Workshop on Vulture Conservation in Otse on 29 April 2026, bringing together community members, government departments, conservation partners, traditional leaders, farmers, youth, and health stakeholders under the theme: “Protecting Vultures through People Empowerment.”
Yesterday we had a great time at our walk in Kolobeng and Metsimotlhabe rivers near Kumakwane. Whereby, we have identified 39 of species in the area. Read more on species highlights of the day.
