Poisoning remains one of the most critical threats to vulture survival, with incidents arising both intentionally and unintentionally.

Of the six affected birds, three African White-backed Vultures survived against the odds. All are showing encouraging clinical progress under close observation following treatment.

One bird in particular has made significant strides after arriving in a severely compromised condition, including extreme weakness, collapse, and a markedly reduced heart rate. This case underscores the severity of poisoning incidents, even with prompt response, and highlights that each survivor contributes vitally to the preservation of a species under considerable pressure from ongoing poisoning events across its range.
