Vultures are ecologically vital as obligate scavengers, removing carcasses and limiting disease spread. However, thirteen of the world's twenty-three vulture species are threatened, with seven of Ghana's eleven African species at risk due to persecution, poisoning, habitat loss, and demand for vulture parts in traditional medicine. Research by Gbogbo and Daniels (2019) identified Accra and the Northern Region as key hotspots for the trade in vulture parts, making these areas priorities for intervention.

The project targets three main activities. First, school-based education will reach approximately 1,000 students across 15 schools in Accra through interactive presentations, questionnaires, and distribution of educational materials. Second, traditional medicine sellers and market stakeholders in Accra and the Northern Region will be engaged through respectful dialogue, semi-structured interviews, and small group discussions aimed at raising awareness of the ecological and legal consequences of vulture trade. Third, a national Vulture Awareness Event will be organised in partnership with an employee of Ghana Wildlife Society and A Rocha Ghana, who are both project members, bringing together schools, conservation practitioners, and the public.

Results will be shared through stakeholder events, local radio, social media, and potentially peer-reviewed publications. The project team includes four members with complementary expertise in ornithology, environmental education, and field research.
