Article Synopsis
- Rüppell's vultures are critically endangered due to human activities like habitat loss, climate change, and poisoning, affecting their nesting and breeding sites.
- The study used species distribution modeling (SDM) with four algorithms to determine suitable habitats for these vultures in Kenya, using data from biodiversity and environmental sources.
- Findings revealed that most suitable habitats are outside protected areas, highlighting the need for establishing vulture sanctuaries in these regions to improve conservation efforts.
Raptors face global threats like electrocution, collisions, and habitat fragmentation. Many species remain understudied, and their distribution patterns are unknown. Understanding their current and future distribution is crucial for conservation.
