Episode #27: Saving Vultures




Animals To The Max Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, I interview my good friend, Dr. Munir Virani. He's the Vice President for Conservation Strategy and External Affairs at The Peregrine Fund. We discuss Asian and African Vultures and why they are considered one of the most threatened groups of animals on the planet. Threats we cover include human/animal conflict, poisoning, poaching, and use on the black market. Dr. Virani also recounts his terrifying encounters with lions and a lone buffalo.  For more information, please visit http://www.peregrinefund.org Dr. Virani's TED Talk "Why I Love Vultures" https://www.ted.com/talks/munir_virani_why_i_love_vultures Dr. Virani and Corbin Maxey's "Through The Eyes Of A Vulture" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB-0vq8BN_c Follow Corbin Maxey YouTube: https://goo.gl/ZbuBnR Instagram: https://goo.gl/NDYWFF Twitter: https://goo.gl/F4zVfN Facebook: https://goo.gl/ZsE1SP
