Summary:
A two year project repeating a
famous bird survey by driving over 20,000 km in a 4x4 across Botswana has
confirmed researchers' fears: many birds of prey are fast disappearing from one
of Africa's last great wilderness areas. Reported sightings of iconic species
of eagle and vulture declined by as much as 80% compared with the previous
survey, while some migrant species recorded last time have vanished, according
to the study.
