The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya
Al Jazeera
Poison, deforestation and power lines have pushed African raptor population to 90 percent decline in last 40 years.
Simon Thomsett tentatively removes a pink bandage from the wing of an injured bateleur, a short-tailed eagle from the African savannah, where birds of prey are increasingly at risk of extinction.
“There is still a long way to go before healing,” Thomsett explains as he lifts up the bird’s dark feathers and examines the injury.
“It was injured in the Maasai Mara national park, but we don’t know how,” says the 62-year-old vet who runs the Soysambu Raptor Centre in central Kenya.
The 18-month-old eagle, with a distinctive red beak and black body, was brought to the shelter five months ago, where about 30 other injured raptors keep it company.
The sanctuary in the Soysambu reserve is one of the few places where the birds of prey are safe.
