5 September 2026Every September, conservationists, bird lovers, and environmental groups around the world unite to honor a misunderstood yet vital species: the vulture. International Vulture Awareness Day (IVAD) is more than a celebration – it’s a global call to protect birds that are essential to healthy ecosystems but face steep declines. These feathered scavengers play a crucial role in nature’s clean-up crew, yet they often suffer from fear, myth, and neglect. IVAD is a chance to shift that narrative.International Vulture Awareness Day is an annual event that highlights the importance of vultures and the urgent need to conserve them. Despite their reputation as grim symbols, vultures are ecological heroes. They prevent the spread of disease by rapidly consuming animal remains and contribute to biodiversity by keeping ecosystems in balance.#InternationalVultureAwarenessDay@Environmentalists
