EGYPTIAN
VULTURE
Neophron percnopterus
Hailed for its intelligence
and majesty, the Egyptian
Vulture was admired and
worshipped throughout
history. But decimated by
poisoning, electrocution
and illegal trophy hunting,
the bird that was once an
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph
is now Endangered. Can we
save it before it’s too late?
