      I'm pretty sure that's a consequence of the reduction of local wildlife as cities expand and countries become increasingly urbanized, reducing the territory and foraging space they use and forcing them to move elsewhere or otherwise reduce their numbers until they are more manageable for the reduced space.
      Of course there's also what the video discusses in the 3rd world where poison tends to drastically reduce their numbers

      @@Beesahdosomink while I don't disagree with you, I think you're forgetting the most scummy people in the whole scenario.
      The people who buy ivory.
      You rightly mentioned poaches are trying to put food on the table. Highlighting poverty being the problem.
      Well traditional medicine is usually caused these days through lack of education, quite often caused by poverty.
      Also one reason people resort to it is because it is a lot cheaper to buy in a lot of underprivileged countries.
      Again poverty being the cause.
      Ivory is bought by rich degenerates.
      These people should be taken to the place where the animal is poached from, tried to a tree stump, and give a little something back to the animals.
      All their wealth should be donated to the communities where the poachers families live.
      But poaches continue this trade while knowing what they are doing, and ignoring the fact that once they finish off the last animal they are screwed.
      Where they get really scummy is when they poison the carcass.

      No, @akshay it dose seems to be getting better. In recent times our government have introduced vulture protection programme where certain drugs are banned for animal use but I didn't see any changes in my region. Maybe due to unorganized housing and destruction of natural resources(small rivers, forest and ponds), I think I will not be seeing diversity again. Though vulture population have been drastically improved in Nepal 2014 and on. But it is not only about vulture or other animal species we humans must find a way to co-exists with all living beings in our locality.

    I actually met a vulture once. Was walking my dogs and there was a Vulture in the middle of the neighborhood street eating some roadkill squirrel. Every time a car came, it waddled to the sidewalk, let the car pass, then went back to the carcass (instead of just picking up the carcass but hey, it does what it does). When my dogs barked at it, it just gave us a curious look before going back to eating. A polite and fearless thing, if not a bit behind in critical thinking regarding how to eat with minimal waddling.

    Fun fact: California Condors were once found all across North America, from the Atlantic to Pacific coasts. When most of the large animals went extinct or became rare, the Condors in California survived by adapting to eat whale carcasses. I wouldn’t mind having herds of Bison and Elk and flocks of California Condors here in my area. I hope other people think the same, and these beautiful birds can be reintroduced.
