Charlie Hamilton James's Image
Rescued Cape vultures perch at the Vulture Conservation Programme in Magaliesburg, South Africa.
Those not healthy enough to be released back into the wild play an important role in many initiatives, including education, demonstrations, networking, research, campaigns and lobbying. ‘Vultures are charming, wonderful, beautiful and brilliant,’ says Charlie. ‘I want the world to know that.’
