Munir Virani: 我如何愛上禿鷹

作為自然界的資源回收者，禿鷹對生態系極為重要 - 但我們為何對禿鷹只有壞印象？為什麼很多禿鷹正瀕臨絕種？猛禽生物學家 Munir Virani 表示，我們必須更注意這些獨特又充滿誤解的生物，來改變人們的觀點並拯救禿鷹。

Vultures are among the planet’s most endangered birds, yet they are critical for public health and ecosystem balance. In places without vultures, animal carcasses take up to four times longer to decompose, leading to the spread of disease and surges in feral dog populations and rabies. Despite their reputation for ugliness and greed, vultures have deep cultural significance, from ancient Egyptian mythology to Tibetan sky burials. Their decline, driven by poisoning, habitat threats, and harmful drugs, reveals how little we value these essential natural cleaners.
