Description
Purity Chepkirui and co-authors map where a critically at risk vulture can live in Kenya, in a study from 2024. Rüppell vultures have fallen fast from habitat loss, climate shifts, and poison, which wipe out nest and breed sites.
Four map models were blended to chart fit habitat across the land. Named parks and reserves held some fit ground, yet most fit habitat sat outside guarded land. Rain and height were the top drivers of the map. The authors urge new vulture sanctuaries on fit ground outside parks, where most of the birds range lies.
